No matter how many times you flick the switch, lights don't work without electricity.
Cats are even more irritating without power.
He who has the biggest generator wins.
Chainsaws run on testosterone. Everyone envies the guy with the biggest chainsaw.
Women can actually survive without doing their hair--you just wish they weren't around you.
A new method of non-lethal torture - showers without hot water.
There are a lot more stars in the sky than most people thought.
TV is an addiction and the withdrawal symptoms are painful. One day at a time, brother.
Kids can survive 4 days or longer without a video game controller in their hand.
A 7 lb bag of ice will chill 6-12 oz Budweiser's to a drinkable temperature in 11 minutes, and still keep a 14-pound turkey frozen for 8 more hours.
There are a lot of trees around here.
Flood plan drawings on some mortgage documents were seriously wrong.
Contrary to most Florida natives' beliefs, speed limit on roads without traffic lights does not increase.
Aluminum siding, while aesthetically pleasing, is definitely not required.
Crickets /frogs can increase their volume to overcome the sound of 14 generators.
People will get into a line that has already formed without having any idea what the line is for.
When required, a Chrysler 300M will float--doesn't steer well, but floats just the same.
Some things do keep the mailman from his appointed rounds.
Off shore Tele-marketers function no matter what the weather is doing.
Cell phones work when landlines are down, but only as long as the battery remains charged.
27 of your neighbors are fed from a different transformer than you, and that's the one they restore first!
Laundry hampers were not made to contain such a volume.
If I had a store that sold only ice, chainsaws, gas, and generators...I'd be rich.

I'm glad that we live in the desert southwest. It may get hot at times-but no hurricanes or tornadoes to deal with--or icestorms for that matter. Florida has had its share of storms this year.

I'll second that! Good luck and I hope everything goes well (as weird as that sounds) through Ivan. God bless you all.

You missed one buddy..Pump houses are not just for pumps. People and dogs can live in them also. A little cramped, but we are still here. Carl.
Have worked on cars most of my life but with these new ones I seem to be getting dumber and dumber. The more I learn, the more I need to learn. I was taught old-school tactics and have many stories to tell. I also have what I think are good ideas.

Those 'learnings' were priceless to read. What a sense of humor in such a hard time. Personally, I think it's time for you to move to Texas and spread that humor around LOL!
