As hurricane Sandy approaches our area, preparations are
being made to keep everyone safe and as far out of harm’s way as possible. It’s great to see that all the states are mandatorily
evacuating people from the beach and river areas and people are clearing the
shelves of milk eggs bread, batteries and of course toilet paper because you
never can have too much toilet paper. I have
never understood the need to buy 3 cases of toilet paper just before a storm
but I do see a bunch of people running around with their shopping carts loaded
with cases of water and toilet paper.
All joking aside, this storm looks as if it could be one of
the biggest storms ever and shouldn’t be taken lightly. I am not liking the fact that the storm is
during the week and if no driving ban is imposed I have to try and get to work. People in Delaware can’t drive at the best
of times let alone when there are 60 mile an hour winds and driving rain, it’s
gonna be a scary rush hour. I am hoping
for a driving ban but knowing my luck Governor Markell will call one just as we
get to work and then have to scramble to get home.
A driving ban is a double edged sword, I need to go to work
and earn some spondoolies (cash for the uninitiated) but I really am scared to
drive in the mess and also during the week daytime TV is crap so I would rather
be at work than have to indulge myself in inane talk shows and gossipy chatter
except of course Ellen who is the best chat host ever, but I digress.
We shall of course ride this out and come out on the other
side hopefully fairly unscathed and all in one piece. If I keep power and am at home for the duration,
I will keep and update on Twitter of the hurricane funness that will occur.
Let’s be careful out there folks
