I would agree, except people didn't do their jobs with computers or lived in places without fireplaces or wood stoves for thousands of years either. So relative to that, it becomes a problem.
Hurricanes + week's worth of power outage = reason to grill up the contents of your freezer. Just prepare by buying lots of water, fuel for your grill and....that's all you need.
You know - I try, and I try, and I try and all the girls with beautiful tits on this board just won't fucking bite anymore.
I'm just glad the hurricane is on the east coast of FL this time around. Right now it's breezy and cool...like the set up for a beautiful fall weekend. Add to that that my wife and I closed on the property where our restaurant/bar resides today, and there will be some heavy drinking tonight! This is shaping up to be a real nice weekend.
It's not bad in late October. Try that shit at the end of August when it's hot and humid and you're standing in front of a fire in the blazing sun and the novelty of "Hey, look I didn't evacuate." wears off really fucking fast.
If this island was ever in the path of hurricanes, I feel sure that we would be perpetually out of power. They may hike their prices every year, and they may have record profits, but they sure as shit aren't using any of that money on infrastructure or employees.
Ha! Been there, done that. That is when having an open carport sort of comes in handy. But yes, it blows donkey balls. Summer in the deep south is nothing to shake a stick at, and then having to deal with cleaning up without power or running water.....torture. I remember my parents using us like the free labor we were to pick up limbs, and then when we finished the real work, raking fucking leaves. RAKING LEAVES. What the fuck? They were obviously keeping us as busy as possible for as long as possible to stave off actually having to spend time with us doing "activities"... You ever play checkers with your mom or dad? FUCK GAMES, GAMES ARE FOR CHILDREN.
Last year it snowed on Halloween and this year it's supposed to be hurricaning. I wish all you sinners would get the hint and recognize these storms as signs from God that he's had enough of our Satan-worshiping "holidays" and girls acting like sluts.
There is probably a 75% chance I'm going to pull my groin this weekend and it probably won't even look this graceful.
My favorite time of the year is that first week where it starts to get not warm, but hot. You go around and you can tell which people are students from up north spending their first summer here. I love the look of terror in their eyes when its 85 with 80% humidity and you calmly inform them to settle down because we've got 20 degrees more to go.
I know that South Carolina isn't considered the deep south, but I recall one July where my previous company flew me there for a week. It was something like 90 degrees and 90% humidity, and was completely awful. I needed a goddamn spatula to get my balls off my leg that week, and forget about the creases in my dress shirts. If it's worse than that in the 'deep south', you can mark me down as someone who will never live there.
Ha! Same goes for here, but reversed. When the temps hover around 30-40 degrees, you know who isn't a native Minnesotan because they're already freaking out and bundled up in heavy winter coats/hats/gloves. Then the real fun starts when you have high temps in single digits and knee deep snow, and months to go until springtime.
It can get worse. I get a chuckle when 100 degrees in New York is a newsworthy event. France hit something retarded like 90 degrees one summer and people started dying.
Speaking of Florida, this dude seems like he was gunning for a Darwin award to bring the state pride...
I'd probably just shoot myself. My warmest gear is jeans and a hoodie. Weather gets too cold for that, I'm just staying inside.
And as far as I can tell, not a single Minnesotan owns an umbrella. Do they even sell them there? I've seen some pretty decent rain storms happen there and everyone just seems to trudge right through them.
Gore Tex is for when the rain is sideways. I was just thinking about it and I own more jackets and coats than I should admit to, and that's not even counting hunting gear.
Woo, time for halloween movies. I feel guilty watching Hocus Pocus considering how many times I jerked off to Thora Birch in American Beauty.
I'd always have a strong urge to give in to the bullshit and buy all sorts of Scent Lok stuff for high prices. But the deer around my grandpas have yet to move out of the way of my wrath. I still rock the same camo my dad bought twenty odd years ago.
