[South Carolina Redfish]

We get paid double time when contracted out to FEMA and it is still not worth it! 

[South Carolina Redfish]

short and interesting meeting with FEMA, State of Florida Highway Engineer, Levy County Manager, Inglis and Yankeetown Supers, Fire Chief, and Duke Energy official. my idea of Assessment Team apparently offended the locals with the way they've always done things. was called a POS NYer who ought to go back north, and a few other unkind words. I refused to get into a pissing match and calmly as I could explained my plan. apparently they cater to the 'rich' people first, and let the 'poor' wait. I did have Duke Energy, the FD, and the State on my side, but looks like I will ride a desk inputting updates and answering phones as needed.

So who has last say in this clusterf*ck?

Truth is, that is part of the problem - nobody knows so everybody thinks they are.  They contract some of us out to FEMA and loan us to the State DOT's for hurricanes and I have done plenty of them, it is a giant clusterfuck Brownie!    I refuse to do it anymore after the Rita fiasco.

the local State Residencies and Duke Energy use assessment teams. the Township officials, commissioners, supers, claim autonomy, that they know what's best for their 'peoples'. it will be very interesting tomorrow morning. I just have to remember to keep my mouth shut and smile a lot.
fuckin' hicks.

Dean, Dean, Dean.  One thing those who grew up in the South do not appreciate is yankees and Californians leaving their fk'd up states only to tell their new neighbors things should be done like they did them from whence they came.  The fuckin' hicks just don't like hearing that.

It's not like it's the first time he's heard that....

Nor will it be the last time.

If I were you, and pack up you and whatever ladies you need to keep you company and head out of there, let them fend for themselves.

If I were you I would quit volunteering and limit my activities to banging old women, kayaking and smoking cigars.

We'll have to work up a fairly different list for CarolinaDave...

Ya know Dave, there may be some real deals on property on the Carolina coast after this weekend.

I did FEMA work back in Hurricane Charlie when I lived in SC.   Showed up checked in with my FEMA ID Badge and they seized my work laptop saying I could not bring in personal property to their facility and it had to be inspected.....  One prompt GFY, went back to my office and told them where their laptop was...... took a while for them to get it back from the dumbfuk's.  Great Job Brownie!

Maybe but really does not look that way to me, there will likely be some pissed off people that were told to evacuate then next time there is a real storm you can buy property cheap at their estate sales..

Like I said before, just be sure to buy one that used Clemson hurricane nails.

Already have the list made and no volunteering on it I can tell you that.  Volunteering will get your ass in an infantry battalion carrying ammo with nothing to put it in.

Sheesh, I am ready for lunch this hurricane is making me hungry!

Marines Drop 1911 for Glock

The U.S. Marine special forces have kicked the .45 to the curb and opted for the Glock 19 in 9mm instead.

Some fascinating nail science there.

Don't imagine any meetings on your list, either.

Why don't you just go visit your barista instead.  Have a biscotti to hold you over.

Next planned meeting after I retire will be a meeting with my maker.
