So our apartment complex has been without power since the storm, and it has already started to take it's toll. I came home last night sometime after midnight to find Mr. Fisher and Mr. Shafer sitting on the back of the Explorer. Just sitting and drinking. Not that I'm being judgmental -- I joined them for a while. God forbid, however, that we would ever to go several days without power. They would find the three of us dead on the floor amidst a sea of scented candles and a Persian cat sitting in the corner. Then my family would not only have to deal with my loss, but they would probably start questioning my sexuality to boot.

Posted by: Roy at August 27, 2003 06:50 PMOh yeah, we're drinking. Trying to kill the 1/4 of it left so we can get a fresh one for tomorrow. Thank got the dispensing part is gas-powered.
