Wait a minute! Has NOAA change their story? I heard Jeanne was not coming near the East coast! Yup! Dang! I just checked their 3 & 5 day track. It was predicted it was going to take a sharp turn north way in the Atlantic! Now headed our way! Here we go again!

(p.s. I have gas for the generator. I just do not have it IN the generator, yet!~~~LOL)

[Spotsy]

STAY AWAY JEANNE!!!

Shall we pick you up on the way?

If Jeanne comes this way, I'll need to stay here to hold up my trees. LOL!

[beachn4fun]

Ok, we go with Plan B.

[Spotsy]

I was writing letters to my nephews, my sweet little "pumpkin heads," and thought Sarge, being the master pumpkin farmer that he is, needed one too.

[MoJo2001]

Dearest Mr.Beach,

Our Beachy isn't comprehending that GAS in the GAS POWERED GENERATOR is perhaps a good thing when a Hurricane is threatening the area. Could you see to this minor little task for all of us? We wouldn't want Ma to be frantic with worry because Beachy doesn't have power?

Thank you,
MoJo and the rest of the crazy Canteen family

[beachn4fun]

Man Spotsy.........they must be some important trees if you plan on going up against Jeanne.

~~~~~~~~I SECOND THAT. STAY AWAY JEANNE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[MoJo2001]

SCREW THE TREES!

Just leave them alone and go on a road trip with MoJo.

If I go home with the boys, I will be going without The Sailor. He will have to stay in area. Which is the only reason I would just stay.

[Spotsy]

I am denial - - - what is this storm and is it REALLY coming our way?

[MoJo2001]

DENIAL IS NOT GOOD THING AT THIS POINT!

[StarCMC]

ACK!! NO!!! Up at 6AM with Shorty climbing into bed with me! And now I'm at work. :o)

[MoJo2001]

DENIAL is a River in Egypt, right?

Sorry! I couldn't resist. LOL!

[Spotsy]

DOH!

I just caught this info link from MoJo
regarding the storm

[MoJo2001]

Work?

What is that silly word?

It's obviously not for MoJo.

Hehe!

[USVet6792Retired]

Hi there!! From what her momma says she's a lil pig too. She said she could carry her around without holding on...whatever that means?

[Spotsy]

LOL! Da Nile - appropriate considering I left out the word IN - I'M IN DENIAL!!!

I MOVED TO VIRGINIA
These things aren't supposed to happen here.
I want to go back to Chicago.

[beachn4fun]

My Dearest Mojo and the rest of the crazy Canteen family AND Ma.

I am sure you understand fully that Beachy has been telling me for some time that I need to check this out and see to it. Honey-do! You understand.

However, as you can see I have been much too busy to take care of that minor thing.

So, I will have to wait a tad longer to just see where that pesky hurricane goes.

I much appreciate your thoughtfulness, but I must get back to my drink before the ice melts. Ciao, Mr. Beach

[beachn4fun]

LOL.... I just got a very vivid picture......thanks.

[Spotsy]

OUCH!

[Spotsy]

MR BEACH!!! Good to see you. That's the spirit!

[beachn4fun]

Wait a minute! Can you say "screw" at the Canteen?
