[Rhodes22-list] No Wonder They Invaded Georgia!

[Brad Haslett]

Ben,

Just got off the phone with older brother to review our hurricane plan.  "We
have one"?  Wrong answer.  Actually we do.  We're parking the bucket of the
trackhoe on corporate headquarters (a 20 foot storage container) and tying
our 'home' , a 5th wheel camper, to the dozer and backhoe.  After that,
"hope and change".  We'll be first in line to help the MS Coast to recover
from Gustav except theres nothing left standing to knock down again after
Katrina. We discussed briefly whether we should mobilize east or west and
how far, and then realized we're too poor from the last so-called "recovery"
to offer much to anyone.  That said, a number of folks have our property (15
miles inland) lined-up for evacuation of their "stuff".

We'll leave the lights on (and fuel the generator).

Brad
