Ike will live on forever!


This is the view on Ted and Brenda's beach property since Ike came to visit. Where a cozy beach house used to set there has now been created a little scenic pond readily equipped with mobile transportation. If you could only see past the transportation you could view the equipment that used to be helpful in maintaining the beautiful landscape. They are anxiously awaiting the time that they will be able to dig through the shifted sands that have been newly deposited on their beach front property! (Previously, it was one street back ) Who knows what trinkets will be unearthed... possibly something of their own!
We have come to know more about weather forecasts than we ever possibly wanted to know. Evacuation has become normal. Running a generator isn't a rare instance. MRE's are FUN. Toliets are priceless!!! What a sad thing when people know how to run the system after an event. What did we do after Carla or Camille. There was no FEMA then. Did we have to take care of ourselves???? Who took care of them? Just wondering.
Here's a little Hurricane Humor
Don't know who wrote this but its funny!!!
Here are ten reasons why having a hurricane is like having Christmas. Enjoy!
Number Ten: Decorating the house (with plywood).
Number Nine: Dragging out boxes that haven't been used since last season.
Number Eight: Last minute shopping in crowded stores.
Number Seven: Regular TV shows pre-empted for 'Specials'.
Number Six: Family coming to stay with you.
Number Five: Family and friends from out-of-state calling you.
Number Four: Buying food you don't normally buy . . . and in large quantities.
Number Three: Days off from work.
Number Two: Candles.
And the Number One reason Hurricane Season is like Christmas:
At some point you're probably going to have a tree in your house!
