"okay...I confess...i got ready...i bought some beer"

I hope you bought a bunch! I thought I was ready for anything back when Irene snuck up on us. Had to wade through chest-deep water to get re-stocked on beer and cigs

My g/f (who had just moved to Boynton Bch from Wisconsin) went with me. After we got home with the supplies, there was a report on the news about people getting electrocuted in the water.... snakes and alligators in the water... deadly diseases in the water... etc.

Luckily, the first aid kit was stocked and I didn't need to go after bandages for myself after she saw that report!
