...I hear Brendon has a special deal on generators.

If you have Verizon, you are probably all set. They are the only company that has generators at EVERY cell site.

i am going to park my truck in the hay field, just to be safe. im going to help them in a little bit, and make sure eveything is ready and we have enough water for the animals. its a guaranteed power loss up where they are, even with the smallest storms. hurricanes usually knock it out for a few days.

I need to go get my father. He lives outside the hurricane barrier over in Stamford.
He refuses to leave and refuses to move his car to higher ground.

Thankfully we don't have a full moon.
