Things are looking up!!!

I'm just sitting here waiting out the storm and trying to get up enough get up and go to go out in this mess and feed. As I sit here pickng lint outta my belly button (for want of something more interesting to do), I'm wondering what this mega-storm is going to do for the economy. Gas prices have spiked, and retail sales have gone crazy. Hardware (generators and pumps), buckets, mops and batteries moved out of Wally World quicker that Sherman going through Atlanta. Food sales and grocery shelves have been stripped like Thanksgiving was tomorrow. Wood products (plywood and toilrt paper) have disappeared like Houdini. Thousands of jobs have magically appeared in the area (out of state line crews and FEMA personnel) to boost the economy. All of the pollution that has built up over the years will be cleansed and washed out to sea and, as usual, Darwin will weed out a few who are dumb enough to try to cross flooded streams. It will only cost us several trillion dollars and give a boost to the politicians vacationing in Floodidria so they can claim responsibility for micromanageing the sudden upswing in the local economy and claim the right of being recoronated for a few more years.

Just thinking of what a wonderful country we live in. They have saved my tail again...

Like I been tellin ya mate! It's the bloody great a pox eclipse!!! The truck that delivers Carling Black Label is off in the ditch with Mad Max's petrol tanker! By Sat PM the local gas station was out....even 93 octane that no one ever buys... interesting...
Another practice run for the 'post petroleum extinction'..... where's my riding boots and studded leather jacket????

Well for me i still have 60 acres of beans in the field and have 4 inches of rain. So far no ponding in the fields.The beans were shelling out while still green and wet so now some molding too.This is the first time the soil has been wet since the spring of 2011.So far no trees down.

moderate wind has started here in ny southern tier. rain is mostly drizzle so far. the worst of the storm is going to be south of us by the looks.
