Ahoy, me hearties. Today be talk like a pirate day. Don't believe me, eh? Avast! Look here, matey, and it all will be explained. Don't be every day ye get to talk like a pirate, savvy?
Driving 10 hours to get to a place that is less than 5 hours away = no fun.
Spending 4 hours just trying to get through Hattiesburg, MS = no fun as well.
That stuff happens when you have half a million people fleeing for their lives when they really didn't have to. Well, granted that no one knew where the storm was going, and it was a bad storm, just look about 45 minute to an hour to our east in the Mobile, Gulf Shores, Pensacola area, but none the less it was a sucky experience that I don't ever want to go throuh again, but will if I have to. Things are getting back to normal. Joel and I had a nice visit with Kristyn and Bryan and just sat and watched the weather channel for 3 days. They should dramatized the storm a little more. I don't think we got to see what it really was like to stand outside when any sane person would be miles from that spot. Really, Jim Cantore. You are supposed to be some sort of expert, not a dumbass. Our local weatherman even knows when to stay inside and he doesn't seem too bright sometimes.
Luckily all we have to clean up is pine needles, leaves and a few branches and no one got flooded out and there was no structural damage to anything of importance. I do think that the civil engineers in Mississippi are on crack. The hurricane evacuation thing didn't work out how it is supposed to. The infastructure is fucked when it comes to that. You have one road going east, one going west and one going north, each are two lanes and for some reason they didn't want to open both lanes going away from here, and in my town alone there are almost 30,000 people, and we aren't the largest city on the coast, far from it, so you see the problem. I think they need to work on that a little more. This was the first time a mass evacuation has been issued since the storm that made it law to leave when they tell you to came through here 30 years ago leaving a lot of people dead and the whole coast in ruin.
That cartoon is damn funny. It made me happy; and I just had the most assanine fight with Bryan in the history of my dumbass fights, so I needed that.
One day I shall tell you of the dumbness; right now I'm too sleepy. Suffice to say, it has only just started and will continue for days, and it centers around his mother, her presence in my business, and a suit.
Joel still has to teach me to steal pictures.
