Here we are in Southern Florida digging out from one or maybe two hurricanes and here come good old Uncle Ivan. We have thousands of people without electic or phone services, and are now being warned that we could be facing a health crisis because our sewer system isn't working. Most people have at least a little damage to their homes, and too many people have depleted their emergency supplies of food and drinking water. People are hot, tired, and getting angry because their services aren't being restored as quickly as they want.
Hell even the Bush Brothers made their appearence, blocking roads with their motorcade and generaly being a pain in the ass. (We don't need politicians, we need help.)
To make it even worse they have banned stores from selling beer and wine in many places.
Now here comes Ivan, mixing it up in the tropics and heading right for us again. (We're so sorry Uncle Ivan, could you please visit someone else?)
If we get hit by Ivan a couple of things are going to happen. !) there will be big problems here in Southern Florida. 2) My sense of humor will be damaged for a long time to come. 3) a lot of people will be leaving South Florida, driving land prices down. (This could be a good thing for some of us.) 4) If it hits Palm Beach County I will be getting a tattoo of a hurricane cloude with the dates of the storms I have dealt with.
On the plus side, (there is always a plus side,) my wife is relaxing about the little things in life. Also, if my neighbors have to deal with the heat and humidity again, not too mention surviving another major storm, I have the feeling there will be a lot more skin showing around here. People are getting fed up with the B.S. We had one lay walking around topless the other day trying to stay cool. (More important to my way of thinking, no-one complained about it.) This could be a good thing. People thinking about staying cool and comfortable, and realising some things are more important than the false modesty being pushed upon us by those trying to controll us.

Now why in the world would they decide to ban the selling of the few things making this tolerable? Gotta be a politician!
