Hey Georgie! We need some help out here!
We have record flooding in the Midwest. We have kids getting killed by tornadoes. We have part of a major coast to coast highway closed because of high water. We have the second largest city in Iowa without a hospital because there is no water. We have a major U.S. university possibly being swept underwater. We have bridges being washed out. We have communities which may never be inhabitated again because of all this water. We have cities with no potable water. We need help. Send FEMA money. This is going to take millions of dollars. We are perfectly capable of rebuilding our own cities but once again, we need money. And maybe a few more National Guardsmen wouldn't hurt either. Oh wait, they're in Iraq. Never mind, just send money and then stay out of the way. No speeches, no photo ops. Just money to help us rebuild.

2. Went shopping earlier
got a sump pump. But it only works in the basement. Can't pump out millions of gallons. But I won't be surprised if Georgie wants to try that. It's cheaper that way.

4. Has your place sustained any damage?
One of the things that I do not miss about living in N Texas is all of that crazy weather.

But I sure do miss those North Texas Women.

You don't find 'em like that, here on the Bay.

7. Just water in the basement
and it's damn near impossible to get to my car because the back yard is flooded. But I'm lucky compared to many.

5. He's kinda tied up right now.



But he'll send some cake and a guitar in his place. And BTW, you're doing a heckuva job.
