30 things that Charley and Frances taught us |
30 things that Charley and Frances taught us, as described by the
Orlando Sentinel:
1. An oak tree on the ground looks four times bigger than it did
standing
up
2. Even after all these years it is still nice to spend time with
Colonel
Mustard in the ballroom with the lead pipe.
3. When house hunting look for closets with lots of leg room.
4. Water from the shower is much colder than water from the kitchen
sink--- and
tastes just as bad.
5. AA, C and D are the only alphabet we need ( batteries )
6. The four-way stop is still an ingenious reflection of civility.
7. Radio can be the best way to watch television.
8. Chainsaw wielding men are nothing to be afraid of.
9. SUV's are the best makeshift tents on the market.
10. You can use your washing machine as a cooler.
11. It's your God given right to sit on your back porch and eat
Chinese
takeout
by candlelight in your underwear.
12. We shouldn't complain about "useless" tools in the garage-- we
actually DO
need a generator
13. You can' t spell "priceless" without I-C-E.
14. Downed power lines make an excellent security systems.
15. Lake Eola can generate waves.
16. Gasoline is a value at any price
17. Cell phones: Breaking up isn't hard to do.
18. The life blood of any disaster recovery is COFFEE
19. The need for your dog to go out and take care of business is
inversely
proportional to the severity of the storm.
20 Candlelight is better than botox--- it takes years off your
appearance
21. Air Conditioning: BEST. INVENTION. EVER.
22. Water is a comfort food. But 3-day-old Cheetos are too.
23. Shadow animals on the wall---Still fun.
24. No matter how hard the wind blows, roadside campaign signs will
survive.
25. You should never admit to having power at your house in the
presence
of co
workers or neighbors who do not.
26. There's a plus to having NOTHING in the refrigerator.
27. Getting through the day should be an Olympic event.
28. The movie theater can be a most pleasant place, even if the
feature is
Alien vs. Predator
29. Somebody's got it worse.
30. Somebody's got it better. Obviously, they are getting
preferential
treatment.

I liked the last one. On the radio there were people complaining that the
richer sections of town got their power back first.

yeah, no animal in it's right mind would even go outside in winds like that,
never mind 'go' outside.
the down power lines making for good security systems is funny too, come on
in! ZAP!
most of that stuff was soo true. priceless 'ICE' ... true! trees looking
bigger on the ground, true!
they forgot one tho, the sound of generators running all over the
nieghborhood is annoying at first, then soothing. when they shut off, the
sudden sound of silence will wake you up out of a dead sleep.
they also forgot that there's no need for hot water when you have no A/C,
the cold water is just what you need to cool off.
and you never get to know your nieghbors better than during the aftermath of
a hurricane.

It would make my parents feel right at home (they're full time RVers,
ya know)

no doubt
and you never get to know your nieghbors better than during the aftermath of
a hurricane.
and an earthquake.
