We have been glancing sideways at the weather reports for a couple of days. Did you notice Flossie fall to pieces, in the Pacific, when she caught sight of the greenly folded mountains in Hawaii?
Daniel is our little focus of the moment. I bought four more cans of no salt added chicken and twelve boxes of no sugar added cookies. We are prepared. Well, somewhat.
We ate most of the low sodium spam from two years ago. Stock-up time.
On another irrational note, a growing city where an air base used to be (down the 'pike) is going to have a planned power outage tomorrow at seven a.m. They are on their own, separate grid. Could they have planned it any more inconveniently? Either the citizenry has to be completely ready for departure by seven or the hair dryers will stop in midstream. Can you imagine showing up at work with the back half of the hair looking great and the front gel-combed into a 50's Elvis 'do?
Doesn't everyone dry their hair back-to-front? No?

I discovered a long time ago the more I pulled my hair using a brush and hair blower the more I pulled my hair out. It is the gel or hair spray for me, or a natural doo.
My question on the planned power outage is... WHY?
I LOL thinking about the back hair vs. the front gel-do
The power outages are explained as follows in the on line newspaper, here:
"as the city's energy services department conducts testing at its newest electric utility substation ... the power outages should last about 15 minutes..."
They were first back on line after Andrew because they do have their own grid. I'm jealous of that fact but not the outages.
The first story said outage. The second one mentioned outages .
Maybe it was a typo and they meant to say outrages?
Yes, I have a back up small hair dryer that runs off a car lighter. Proper planner prevents poor performance. Hum. wonder where that came from.
Zeta, if we lose our power, can we line up outside your car door?
Sure, and we can have a blow dryer BBQ lunch or dinner. If you wish, we can issue numbers like the Publix deli incase the neighbors stand in line too. Our portable radio and TV runs off of batteries for our hearing and viewing pleasure. There are plenty of candles and flash lights for everyone. Also we will have bread, ice, paper cups, plates manual can opener, fire extinguisher, duct tape, matches, sterno, tools, extension cords, plastic storage containers, rain gear, shampoo and water. Plus we will have Folgers Instant Coffee since Starbucks does not make the product yet. The FPL beg for our power back telephone number is 1 800 4outage. Does that number sound familiar?
Zeta, it sounds as if you're really ready for a party or a hurricane, whichever arises first. I vote party.
And yes, that number is tattooed on my brain. (Just leave out 01 doc's "r" as in outrage) Don't even have to look it up, which is probably the point.
In the event of a power loss, I will probably have the gel-Elvis look or the fluffy fly-away look.
After Andrew, a girl at our bank had gorgeous hair. I asked her how she did it and she said never used a drier at any time. Just applied gel and scrunched the curls. Of course she had naturally curly hair. Like someone else I know ...
What she didn't tell you is that she had to stand in front of a mirror and squeeze her hair with gel until it was just a little damp. This process allows the hair to curl without the gel sticking to your hands.
