Well I got my stuff today. Jasmin (You sooooooo do ROCK) totaly hooked me up. I ordered IS and Ammo (full size) and Instant Openness, Instant Female Magic, Turn Up The Heat, (to go size) and I get all those plus Instant Honesty all full size with A314 to go size and to boot she gets it to me overnight. Damn that girl is the rockingest coolest chick alive.
OK so I get the email last night from FedEx my package is in route to the airport, but it’s delayed. Delayed? What the heck is delaying a 1 lb overnight shipment from El Lay to Memphis? Well it turns out that the Mid-South (that’s what they call us rednecks down here) gets 1 snow storm a year and sure as heck last night it snowed.
Now most people who live in the mid-west or north-east wouldn’t consider 1/2 inch anything more than a slight flurry, maybe a nuisance, but certainly not a storm. In Jersey (the new one) where I grew up we’d be cursing the snow God for forcing us to bust out a broom to wipe the snow off the car. The shovels only come out if it’s heavy snow fall, like 12 feet. Anyway here in the Memphis area the only vehicles on the road are SUV’s in full 4WD. All the schools are closed, and most business’ will delay opening for hours while they clean up the disaster left in the wake of all 1/2 inches of snow. I’m surprised the Governor didn’t declare the state a disaster.
I wake up this morning and look out the window at the wintry wonderland left by last nights blizzard. Very pretty indeed. After all, Memphis does have the best kind of snow. One time a year, usually a light dusting just to make you happy while reminiscing the good old snow days when you were a kid, but then it’s gone in 3 hours and you don’t miss it anymore.
Well there was no time to waste this morning, chugged down some coffee and turned on the computer to make sure they didn’t shut down Memphis International Airport, and thank the heavens someone kept their senses and kept it opened. My package had arrived and was loaded for delivery. I through on my sweats and headed for the jeep with broom in hand. It was freezing cold with temperatures in a near artic freeze at 32. I cleaned the snow off the windows and cursed the snow Gods after some of that icy powder managed to get between my hood and my neck.
I was taking a dangerous risk, but the sacrifice had to be made so I jumped in the jeep. I figured I would live even more dangerously and not put it in four wheel drive (I’m such a rebel) and drove over to my pop’s house. I live too much in a rural area for even FedEx. So carelessly driving along without the 4WD I arrive in 3 minutes. Everybody stayed home and thankfully there were no other trucks on the road. If anyone saw me drive they probably would have thought I was crazy.
It was 9:30 and already the blasted global warming was melting the polar ice caps that had frozen Memphis solid. I Arrived and spread some rock salt and cursed the Kyoto Accord as I laughed fiendishly at my help in destroying the earth for the next generation. To hell with them, they’d probably screw it up anyway. I get inside and warm up by the wood burning stove that thankfully is roaring and emitting even more dioxins into the atmosphere. My mom makes me a nice cup of coffee to relax by the fire then starts nagging me on why I was only wearing a hoodie in the new ice age. Dammit mom! Can’t you just leave me alone?
Before it ends into a full blown argument on how I’m gonna end up with pneumonia the FedEx truck rumbles to a stop in front of the house. I scramble to the door and get my package and without even so much as a goodbye I jump in the jeep and once again take my life in hand and drive the treacherous deadly roads to my house.
I get home safely without incident and go for the door. Just as I’m about to enter my door a lone drop of icy water drips from the global warming helped roof and somehow finds its way right down the back of my neck. I curse the Gods and head inside.
I tear open the package and there is my magic formula inside and for the first time I feel like a mad scientist who is about to perform a dastardly deed and take over the world.
Hmm this is a long post, I’ll add to this as different post to this thread ![]()
