as I'm having a yard sale

people are making conversation about politics of all things. Out of 20 people across the gender/racial spectrum I've only heard "that asshole in the whitehouse", the "bullshit artist and kanya west" and "I've changed my party affiliation", among other derogatory words.

There has been no positive comments about this guy that thinks he's the president.

This is in West Central Florida along the coast.

BTW, the yard sale is going well too.

you can't afford it. It was my great aunts grandmothers uncles that made it thru the Bowling Green Massacre. Priceless, just priceless.

BTW, 20 people now know the con is trying to shut down protest on the Mall and in front of the Peoples house. They aren't happy campers.

but inland in the Inverness lakes area, so the culture is no doubt somewhat different. But still.

Sounds like a pretty day to be sitting out chatting.

Mexico beach. Said he didn't know what would happen to him if they didn't get help soon. His family might have to live under a bridge.

Also... Nelson last night said they need thousands of fema blue tarps. If it rains they are in deeper trouble.

From people's ultimate sorrow has got to come a drop in Trump's popularity there.

leads me to wonder how anyone is going to cope. The National Guard should be setting up tent cities on all the open areas and organizing mess halls, doctor stations, triage areas etc.

I haven't heard of that happening and we know don the con has more important golf games to attend to.

This is not going to be over in a week, no fucking way.

No residence, maybe no address.

I understand the town has names & addresses of all (former) residents & checked on each residence immediately before the storm.
