And there was much rejoicing.

I'm heading down to the Cape to rescue a vehicle before tomorrow's festivities. That way I can start playing the hunker down drinking game with the wife.

"hunker down" - 1 drink
"eye wall" - 2 drinks
"feeder band" - 2 drinks
"hammer" - 5 drinks (hammer as in "I've nicknamed this part of the storm the hammer")

That's all we have - I guess there should also be an honorary full drink (finish the bottle) for any time someone brings up a bad analogy involving the Titanic too.

Likewise, you can probably add an honorary social drink for any newscaster making a really poor mixed metaphor (I remember with frances, some poor person said "it's really beginning to sound like lightning out here").

(remember folks - don't drink and drive - it's just stupid)
But legal-aged drinking with the company of friends is FUN! (if handled in moderation)

With the above game - you're good to go within an hour at a minimum because there's nothing storm casters love to say more than "hunker down"!

Be right back!
