Yeah, not much, just sprinkles today. Maybe Hanna will save your ass.
I haven't talked to brother Gary today to see if he got his power
back in Gulfport. That little friggin' generator ran through $5 of gas
a day after Katrina - probably up to $10 a day now. We've got a
'mother of all welders' that can power the whole neighborhood if you
can afford to feed it. Our new roof stayed on - Thank You Lord!
Now listen up folks, the following contains course language so go here
at your own risk-

You Go Sarah!
