Thanks! We did very very well. We’re almost back to where we were before the storm. The roofer is flooded in at his home in the Heights so we’re waiting on him to come put back 2-3 dozen shingles we lost.

While checking out at the Food Town a little earlier, I thanked the young checkout girl for coming in to accomodate others. She told us how she was so tired and depressed from the storm. I told her that was very sad because she was still able to have feelings and draw a breath, some weren’t so lucky. She moaned about being without power and I told her that when I grew up in southwestern Louisiana, I went to school all my life with no a/c. At home we had one window unit that covered all the bedrooms for sleeping and that was it. She then complained how she couldn’t get out on her cell phone. I just shook my head and told her that life was going to be very disappointing for her if her cell phone was that important to her. I should have just given her FEMA’s phone number and told her they’d straighten out her life for her :-)

She moaned about being without power...

That's the future of our country, right there. It isn't going to be a happy ending.

Here was one of my favorites. The day after Hurricane Hugo a man called the local cable company and demanded “Where's my cable! I pay for cable TV and should get it!” A few miles away they didn't even know if people were alive or dead and this moron is screaming for his cable. His area was out for a few days, many people south of his location were without power and cable for weeks, some months.
