Damn Gustav

So when we heard that Gustav was coming, we did what anybody else would have done. Gas up, get supplies, and have a dress-up party at Timmy's house.



Then the reality came with the regular sights and sounds. Boarding up, PANIC on the news, everyone saying we were going to be wiped off the face of the earth. The normal stuff.



Well, Brandy begged me to take the animals outta there and I didn't want to be without A/C for that long.....so I went.



Mistake.

Pictures are not needed to describe what it's like to go home. "Why would you want to live in a place like that anyway?" "You should just move back home." "You should really go see so-and-so because, you know, she's getting REALLY old...."

Screw this. No A/C or not, I was going home.

So it was the regular stuff there, too.

(and yes, Mr Peepers survived the staum!)



We had to either cook or throw out all of the meat in T's fridge so we made it into MeatFest 2008 and just cooked it all. Pretty good. Other than that, we just drank and drank and drank some more. We got drunk enough to not really care about how hot it was or how hard it was to find ice.




One down. Probably a few more hurricanes to go. Then two whole weeks of fall! I can't wait!
