1. Coffee and frozen pizzas can be made on a BBQ grill.
2. No matter how many times you flick the switch, lights don't work
without electricity.
3. My car gets 23.21675 miles per gallon, EXACTLY (you can ask the
people in line who helped me push it).
4. Kids can survive 4 days or longer without a video game controller in
their hand.
5. Cats are even more irritating without power.
6. He who has the biggest generator wins.
7. Women can actually survive without doing their hair- you just wish
they weren't around you.
8. A new method of non-lethal torture, showers without hot water.
9. There are a lot more stars in the sky than most people thought.
10. TV is an addiction and the withdrawal symptoms are painful.
11. A 7 lb bag of ice will chill 6-12 oz Shiner Bock to a drinkable

12. There are a lot of dang trees around here.
13. Flood plane drawings on some mortgage documents were seriously
wrong..
14. Aluminum siding, while aesthetically pleasing, is definitely not
required.
15. Cicada and Crickets can increase their volume to overcome the sound of
generators. Gators, not so much...if you hear a gator croak get louder...RUN.
16. People will get into a line that has already formed without having
any idea what the line is for.
17.When required, a Lincoln Continental will float, doesn't steer well
but floats just the same.
18. Tele-marketers function no matter what the weather is doing.
19. Cell phones work when land lines are down, but only as long as the
battery remains charged.
21. Most of your neighbors are fed from a different transformer than you,
and they are quick to point that out!
22. If I was to open a store for JUST from August thru October that sold only ice, chainsaws and generators...I'd be a rich bitch.
23. Price of a can of soup rises 200% in a storm.
24. Your water front property can quickly become someone else's fishing
hole. OR in Ike's case become Public beach...
25. Tree service companies are under appreciated.
26. I learned what happens when you make fun of another states'
blackout.
27. MATH 101: 30 days in month, minus 6 days without power equals 30%
higher electric bill.
28. Drywall is a compound word, take away the "dry" part and it's
worthless.
29. I can walk a lot farther than I thought.
