A Sultry Saturday Evening

Good Evening MyBloggerstown:
    Been watching the news coverage of Hurricane Ike like so many of us are I 'aspose.  Mostly because that's all the news channels(CNN,MSNBC, Foxnews) have on.  It's just terrible.  Mother nature is nothing to toy with, lemme tell ya. Hopefully, all are safe and sound.  What I don't unnerstand is these idiots who choose to hang around even after officials have warned of "certain death".  Then they call up whining to be rescued.  Dopes.  Even stupider(or is it "more stupid"?) are these nutwork(yes, "nut") news anchors who are out there in the wind, rain and tidal surges with a microphone in one hand and hanging onto a lamppost/tree/ bush with the other showboating in front of foggy, water splashed camera lenses so we can see how bad it is.  Pinheads.  We can see how bad it is without having to look at you getting your silly ass blown all over the place. Jees, Louise. Get the hell out of there, ya morons.  One light hearted moment I saw was these people with a sign on the back of their pickup truck that read "GO HOME IKE......TINA ISN'T HERE".  Now that was amusing. Unfortuately, Ike decided to kick some ass reguardless.
     Naturally, since there are oil drilling platforms and refineries in the path of Ike, gas prices have gone to Jupiter.  And they began going up even before the hurricane made landfall.  Cousin Patti reports from the Richmond Va. area(which is no where near the Gulf of Mexico, incidentally) that she drove by the neighborhood gas station and about half hour, 45 minutes later she drove back by the prices had soared.  This is price gouging pure and simple. All those who have participated in this  should be heavily fined and or imprisoned for trying to take advantage of a tragic situation.  Bring back the stocks and tarring and feathering , I say. 
     It's a hot one here in Devil's Asshole tonight and tomorrow doesn't look much better.  I guess summer is giving us one last blast.  I can't believe its nearly fall aready.  I see some of the leaves are beginning to turn a little just around the edges.  Friends in New York tell me that the leaves are turning in the High Peaks (Adirondak Park, Lake Placid etc.) already.  My friend Jean and I used to go up there "leafing" to catch glimpses of the magnificent colors.  Jean is from that region originally and never misses a chance to re-visit her childhood haunts at this beautiful time of year.
     As I sit and type I can hear the PA system from the football game taking place at Devil's Asshole High, my alma mater.  I don't know who they are playing tonight but I do know that they are off to a rousing start(0-2).  I graduated with one of the assistant coaches and I am really not surprised.  Filmore M.(Phil)McCracken was one of the biggest jerk-offs, slackers, and dimwits in our entire class.  I am shocked that he actually graduated.  How he got into college I'll never know.  Pro'lly responded to the ad on a matchbook cover discovered one evening while smoking dope.  One of his more lucid moments, no doubt.  Yet one more example of the old adage, shit floats up.
     Well, I finally finished re-arranging my living room.  It's a daunting task concidering that I had to do it in stages over the space of a coupla days.  Ordinarily, it would have taken at most an hour but I am limited due to physical health. I did get it accomplished finally, though.  My futon is over against the far wall and my recliner and wingback chairs bracket the front windows.  It's a different look and I like where the recliner is now.  Its easier for me to open and close the front windows in the event of rain now which was one of the reasons I wanted to change.  And then too, I was just tired of looking at the room the way it was.  Y'all know how that is, right?  We'll try it this way for awhile. I think it'll lift my spirits up a bit.

Well, I gotta go clean the kitchen and do the dishes.  Have a good weekend, everyone.  Please remember all those in Texas with yer thoughts and prayers. If anyone still has contact with Jenn, please let us know how she is.  I am concerned as I don't remember if she is in the storm area or not.

yer sweating unto death pal

Jenn is near Dallas so she doesn't get the brunt of the hurricane. Just rain and wind. You are right, autumn is just around the cornor.

Rearranging furniture was once a favorite pastime of mine, too. Then I bought a sectional... Enjoy yourself, Bugg.

guess that I have a different meaning of the word sultryTotaly agreed why these people do not take the
heed and leave before Ike came.Well that their business.
Your right they are idiots.

Hard to fathom people's reluctance to evacuate when warnings of "death" come. One fellow who was just rescued was asked by a reporter in a shelter why he hadn't left for safety ahead of the storm. He said, "Well, I just didn't believe it. I mean, how bad could it be?" Well, how's that for brainless? Unbelievable. Northwest Ohio is expecting our share of Ike's wrath today. My dear brother in Chicago has been whalloped by 7.5 inches of rain as of yesterday. Floods everywhere. What a mess.
Enjoy your cozy, comfy, newly rearranged home!

I hope the damage from Ike wasn't too bad. Rearranging the furniture is always fun!
comment by hopefields on Sept 13, 2008 10:22 PM ()
I love rearranging the furniture and then sitting there and enjoying the different view and pretending it is a whole new room, whole new house. Or sometimes putting up curtains or new curtains and just taking in what an improvement. It is cooler here, but no sign of frost yet.

We were talking about how we felts bad about the emergency personnel who have to put their lives on the line to save the people who stayed behind. It is really terrible!
The same can be said about the price gouging going on. I get that the gas prices were likely to go up, but you are right about charging people extra for what the stations already had in their tanks.

"Tina's not here.." That's a great line! I still can't believe some of those folks stayed on the island ... almost like a death wish, I tell ya. If they had told me that I needed to write my social security number in black marker on my arm, I think I would start walking to get out of there if I had too!

So far we here in Florida have been lucky BUT we have 2 and 1/2 months to go--I feel sorry for the Texans in the path of Ike--heard from Chris and he is doing okay--just no electricity but he has a generator.
comment by greatmartin on Sept 13, 2008 7:09 PM ()
I'd be "gone like the wind" if they said Ike was marching thru my neck of the woods. Nope, wouldn't have to tell me twice.
