If you want to go backward, choose "R".
If you want to go forward, choose "D".

Just absolutely INCREDIBLE balance.

L'il Donnie jokes:
Li'l Donnie goes into a store and sees a shiny object.
He asks the clerk, "What is that shiny object?"
The clerk replies, "That is a thermos flask."
Li'l Donnie then asks, "What does it do?"
The clerk responds, "It keeps hot things hot and it keeps cold things cold."
Li'l Donnie says, "I'll take it!"
The next day, he walks into work with his new thermos.
His boss sees him and asks, "Whacha' got there?"
He said, "It's a thermos flask. It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold."
The boss said, "Wow, what do you have in it?"
The moron replies, "Two cups of coffee and a coke."
OK, here's how post disaster debris cleanup works.
This is based on my experience working for a contractor after Hurricane Ivan in 2004. I assume not much has changed with FEMA.
1. Homeowner is responsible for get debris to streetside.
2. Debris should be separated.
A, Cut up downed tees and any other ORGANIC material in one pile. This will be ground into 'mulch' or whatever.
B. Construction materials in another pile. Carpet, drywall, flooring, etc. Possibly also furniture, mattresses, etc. but check with local authorities.
C. "White goods." All appliances.
D. "Hazmat" Toxic stuff. Chemicals, paint, solvents, etc. Check with local authorities.
3. Depending on how much money is in FEMA's budget, and how many sub-contractors the main contractor can/will hire, it may be quite a while before your street is cleared.
Remember that the main contractor (they bid on the contract to FEMA) and ALL his subs are there to make a profit. This is their job. It's how they make a living.
Good luck.
He threw out paper towels. Seriously. Like Mardi Gras beads.
"Hey, Spics! Show us your tits! Here's some free government paper towels!
Scramble for 'em!
Clean yourself up."

My daughter leaves for Las Vegas tomorrow.
It's a business convention.
I'm damn glad she wasn't there two days ago, but Las Vegas is probably the safest city in the U.S. right now.
She has been told that corporate and hotel 'security' has been doubled, whatever that means.
<sigh>
Climate denial. Miz t. at Walgreen.
She's in line to pick up a prescription.
We're in coastal (hurricane prone) Alabama.
Guy in front of her says (more of less) "I want to get back to Chicago as soon as I can. (We get a lot of snowbirds). These hurricanes scare the hell out of me. Global warming."
The 'lady' in line behind Miz t. said "Global warming is a hoax."
The man looked at her.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, it's a hoax."
Miz t. "When is the last time you saw three hurricanes in the south Atlantic or the Caribbean at the same time?"
'Lady'...nothing.
Miz t. as she picked up my prescription and walked out "Only idiots believe that."
Whoa!
Me: "Were you bigger than she?"
Miz t. "Yeah, by about a head. She was about 10 years younger."
Miz t. is 72.
"So you think you could have taken her if it came to a throw down?"
"Maybe, she had big hair. I could have gotten a grip."
Did I mention that I love this woman?
Cause I do.
I remember my first Krystal.
Downtown Birmingham, Alabama.
I think they were 13 cents apiece?
OK, they were tiny, but you could get a HALF DOZEN for 78 cents?
WHOA!
And now we call them 'sliders'.
OFFense and DEEfense
In a courtroom it's the duh-FENCE.
A crime might be an ah-FENCE.
Why is it DEE-fence and AH-fence in football?
