Gustav has just left. Ike threatens. What's not to like?
12 not-so-bad things about having back-to-back hurricanes:
1. You won't lose much in the way of frozen food, since you just threw out all the things that rotted in your freezer a couple of days ago.
2. This time, you won't have to worry about that big limb that just fell on your patio.
3. Really, the refrigerator hasn't looked this clean in years, and it looks like it will stay that way for longer than you thought.
4. Now that you finally found all the flashlights and candles, you'll be able to use them some more.
5. All those batteries you were lugging in from the store when your electicity came back on are now suddenly useful again!
6. You have even more time to re-schedule all the meetings that were set for last week and this week.
7. You might actually get to eat that second can of corned beef hash which you would never, never eat in any other conditions.
8. All those people you just did favors for know it's their turn.
9. You will get to use every last one of the t-shirts you saved for dirty tasks like yard cleanup.
10. It's a crisis! It is OKAY to eat potato sticks right from the can!
11. The awning is already down.
12. No use putting yourself out cleaning up that last corner of the yard... yet!
