living in that treehouse.

I don't really care how many zoning ordinances the treehouse runs afoul of. I just hope she's ok.

I'm out casing the evacuees homes I'm going to burglarize when the storm hits.

This time I'll wait for the homeowners to leave before i poop and choke the chicken. Ya won't get me this time!! And thanks for caring about my safety.

Partially because they're blood thirsty, partially because they both have rabies, and partially to guard my cases of old unstable dynamite that could go off at any time.

It's inland from Savannah and 10 miles west of I-95, so we'll get a ton of rain but be safe from flooding and wind. There's no trees within 100 yards of his place.

Not only am I getting parental pressure to keep their grand baby safe, I don't think several days without power would be a ton of fun.

I don't know how close they are to the beach, but from what I've seen, there is the possibility of 100 mph winds on Friday in Jacksonville. I'd be outta' there!

It seems to be taking aim at Brevard and Volusia Counties. I'm not staying home, though I don't know where I'm going
