Yeah, the three kids are very important to me ... last year when we -
here on the east coast in South Florida - were struck by two hurricanes
in almost as many weeks, the main reason I didn't get out was because
of the kids (cats) and really didn't think twice about it - because I
actually feel fairly safe from everything but FLOOD in this little
building - an I am on of 'those' people that are more FASCINATED by the
[sometimes] fury of mother nature than scared.
I've been a little more nervous after seeing the things happening along
the gulf coast now mainly because I am 'disabled' (I don't say that too
much), live about one mile from the ocean ... yadda ... yadda ... yadda
....
I don't want to THINK about them wandering around looking for me.
As much as I LOVE watching the sky down here ESPECIALLY during
hurricane season, I am now devising a plan to GET THE "F" OUT AND TAKE
THE KIDS WITH ME.
I have NEVER been intimidated by the weather, but now, I don't want the
cats to HAVE to learn how to swim (although the bathtub would teach
them real fast ... is that wrong?).
It's very scary coming to certain 'realizations' ...
