Not Riding It Out

So, my boss informed me today that his parents made a last minute decision to hang up their hurricane spurs and put the lasso on the shelf for this storm.  They're currently on their way northward to his sister's place.

I think it was a good decision.

I just read that Jet Blue is apparently offering 99 dollar flights.  I mean... Even if it has to go on the credit card.... It might be a good idea to just do that.  I don't know... I feel like this is just going to be a major event.

Hmmm... So, yeah, I'll just keep watching the news and see how it goes.

In other news, speaking of news, I decided to buy a hedge trimmer last night to match my current recent lawn equipment purchases.

I guess I'm becoming more of a legit home owner.  I now have the Greenworks Pro 60v cordless mower, string trimmer, and hedger.  I think I might also buy the blower and snow blower.  I'm not going to go into detail here, I'll probably write a more detailed post once I acquire the other tools in the set and really have time to use them.

Anyways, I'm going to go out and hedge some.  But seriously... Even experienced hurricane hold outs have headed for higher ground...  I think at the very least if people plan to stay in Florida... They should seriously consider going to a shelter for the duration of the storm.  It sucks, and shelters are annoying, especially for people such as myself who are all about their personal space... But, staying in a shelter just seems like a smarter idea than staying at home.  Whatever the decision... It should definitely be made before the storm hits.

Well, hopefully things turn out for the best.  I just get the feeling that this whole hurricane thing is definitely pretty scary stuff and shouldn't be something taken lightly.
