Well hurricane Kyle was really something. Here on the mid coast of Maine it was horrible. With wind gusts in the 1/2 mile and hour range. And the rain it was just horrible, my shoes got completely wet. If you can't tell I am being facetious. We got nothing form hurricane Kyle, maybe a little more rain, but that was it. For the first hurricane to hit Maine in 17 years it was a bust. I guess it is good that the news programs paint a picture of worst case scenario. But they really make you feel the anxiety. Well,any who I am glad it did not come close to making land. Now what am I going to do with all this crap, open a hardware store?

No . . . Build an ark!

If you Google "Hurricane supplies" you get about 767,000 hits (try it).

Most are trying to sell you stuff.

So the smart thing is to go into business selling hurricane supplies at a significant markup!

When the sky gets dark, and the winds begin to blow, who do you call . . . Willie!
