We've had windstorms today, 51 mph recorded. The barometer hit a

Trees have blown down crushing cars. Traffic signals were blown down,
pedestals ripped out of concrete. Power outages are widespread in the
metro area. We were dark for a while, as was our son in a different
suburb. Our good neighbors called us to see if we were OK. Good
neighbor George helped me load a genny in my truck to take to my son
who was dark and was concerned about water rising in his sump to flood
level. That little 5KW genny is more than I can lift anymore. I'm
smart enough to know it and not hurt myself, and I have good
neighbors. Wonderful neighbors. That cuts both ways, of course.

The boat tent shrugged it all off, no prob. It isn't nearly as robust
a structure as the one the twits and ****s at city hall condemned, but
it's weathering the storm with a yawn.

It is every bit as visible as the structure they condemned, but it's
under 120 sq ft which is explicitly exempted by the code so they're
**** out of luck with egregious overly zealous application of the
code.

Tarps R on. All of my good neighbors support me on this.

Freakin' out-of-control bureaucrats need a leash-yank they'll notice.

Voting against all incumbants next week.

It's the only way, Don.
Maybe throwing the baby out with the bathwater is the only way...

King baby? Yes, definitely.

I'd rather see the country run by the "Party of No" than the party of
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

Thanks,
