We're getting the first taste of Irma here tonight. Steady rain but not really heavy, high winds but average. He claimed he had $5 left for gas to get to work in the morning. She wanted it so that she could drive four miles down to the road to the corner store to buy more beer. That's the mindset. And if worst came to worst and they didn't want to hitchhike, her dad could drive down and get them. He's pretty far from here but I don't care. When they moved in he drove a big trailer behind his pickup truck and hit the back of my car when he left, so his comfort level isn't on my radar.
