2 observations I Made Today

Ok...so this afternoon I took a dip in the ocean (some of you may know that I live in a red county in Florida). We got whistled out of the water by the lifeguard due to impending lightning

My 2 thoughts:

1) I was waiting for the freedumb loving Americans to complain that no one gets to tell them when they should get out of the water, even if there's lightning!

2) Then I remembered neither Fox News (or other right wing media) nor the Republicans in Congress ever told these people that they should stay in the water even when there's lightning! Explains why no one complained

#1, I said in jest!

#2, I did not say in jest!

A local TV reporter did a story about teenagers riding the high waves during the last Hurricane! Interviewed them and some of their parents about what fun it was! Who cared if it was stormy with thunder and lightning? Called the station and got an apology. So no one tells the fools anything.
