Hurricane Sickness II

I didn't want to touch on the subject of the hurricanes again but I could not resist posting this email message. It is Priceless!

WEATHER BULLETIN

Up here in the Northern Plains we just recovered from a Historic event
--- may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with
a historic blizzard of up to 24" inches of snow and winds to 50 MPH
that broke trees in half, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal
snow banks, closed all roads, isolated scores of communities and cut
power to 10's of thousands.

FYI:

George Bush did not come....
FEMA staged nothing....
No one howled for the government...
No one even uttered an expletive on TV...
Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.....
No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House....
No one looted....
Phil Cantori of the Weather Channel did not come....
And Geraldo Rivera did not move in.

Nope, we just melted snow for water, sent out caravans to pluck people
out of snow engulfed cars, fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil
lanterns or Aladdin lamps, and put on an extra layer of clothes because
up here it is 'work or die'. We did not wait for some affirmative
action government to get us out of a mess created by being immobilized
by a welfare program that trades votes for 'sittin at home' checks.

Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never fallen
this early...we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.
