WEATHER BULLETIN
Up here in the Northern Plains we just recovered
from a Historic event --- may I even say a
"Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with
a historic blizzard of up to 24" inches of snow
and winds to 50 MPH that broke trees in half,
stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow
banks, closed all roads, isolated scores of
communities and cut power to 10's of thousands.
George Bush did not come....
FEMA staged nothing....
No one howled for the government...
No one even uttered an expletive on TV...
Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.....
No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House....
No news anchors moved in.
No Looting
No Demand for Greyhound Buses to move
our "Sorry Rears" that do live here with us.
No NAACP movers and shakers showed up
No Jesse Jackson and his "hired Picketers".
No Send Money to our "emergency relief Fund
Drive" so we can pay $400,000 director salaries.
We just melted snow for water, sent out caravans
to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars, fired
up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or
Aladdin lamps and put on an extra layer of clothes.
Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale
has never fallen this early . . . we know it can happen
and how to deal with it ourselves.
Everybody is fine.
