Can't do it. The gas to get there would cost over $1000 now. I don't think they would let me bring my firearms through. Winters coming. It might be time to seize Key West and become a Pina Colada dictator.
 
and colder.

That white stuff you import every year near Thanksgiving be giving me no end o' fits, eh? I'd have to drop $3000 at the Bay just to get a working amount of flannel and decent shoes.

I refuse to believe that. If I did, I'd be in a Texas University Bell Tower since it don't really matter anyway.
 
Nonsense. $400 tops, for the entire winter wardrobe. $200 for a good parka. $450 for winter radials.

and that's canadian money.

The other $2000 would be a 'fat guy tax to prop up the expected costs to the national healthcare system' that I would have to pay because they don't stock anything over medium.
 
Whenever you show your appetite up here again, I am so gonna drag your ass to Ben's for a real smoked meat.

then I'll give you a phone to call a real estate agent to sell your house.
 
Be careful. If he sells on top of the "bubble", he'll be able to afford Canada. All of it.

Your belief or lack thereof in no way alters the fact. And no you wouldn't. You'd be afraid of getting arrested and meeting your new lover in prison. ;)

I prefer the guided crowbar from space. It kinetic energy from reentry makes any kind of warhead redundant. Impact alone will provide the necessary devastation, without any fallout.

:confused: How'd you find out about "Thor's Hammer"?

But that program was eliminated almost 30 years ago. Mostly due to the logistics of lifting a manned spacecraft through all that junk. It's bad enough as it is now, so you can imagine the carnage if we add about 300,000 steel rods to the mix...

I had faith & it, once again, proves itself the better road.

The roar of private enterprise can be heard throughout the Gulf Coast. Convoys of power company trucks are restoring power. Garbage companies are picking up trash. Tree-trimming firms have cleared many roads.

Other volunteers created relief centers from scratch, operating without government involvement, filling up food trucks, delivering ice and handing out clothes from makeshift operations in parking lots of destroyed stores.

"Red tape is what we used to hang up the sign that says 'help is here,' " says Joseph Foster, a Biloxi businessman who directed volunteers from Believer Temple Church of Birmingham, Ala., and other Alabama churches to a drugstore parking lot across the street from a housing project here.

"Government hasn't done anything for people in the projects," he says. "Now we're getting them hot meals." Church volunteers walk door to door in Oakwood Village, making deliveries and asking who needs help.

USA Today


even the young'uns lent a hand

Kids across the USA turned lemons into aid over the Labor Day weekend, raising thousands of dollars for survivors of Hurricane Katrina.

Roadside lemonade stands popped up from Massachusetts to California. "Help Wanted" signs appealed for donations. And jars overflowed with coins, cash and checks.
