I'm half asleep, when suddenly
It almost knocked me off the couch. It was that stupid emergency broadcast alert. You know, the one "If this had been an actual emergency, you would have been told...blah, blah, blah.
Ok, what is the purpose of this friggin thing?
I live pretty close to Ground Zero in NYC. It's probably about 40 miles by car, and maybe half that by air.
September 11, 2001, I had friggin military helicopters flying over my house, that's how close I am. TV stations were knocked off the air, roads were closed, and railroads etc stopped running. And the stupid friggin emergency alert system didn't kick in. The Pentagon was attacked, planes were crashing everywhere, and my friends and neighbors were being killed.
I can assure you wholeheartedly, if that alarm ever does go off, I'm just going to sit in the corner and mess myself.
One of my humor blogging buddies, ettarose, has suffered tremendously as she lost all her feeds. She's like the Bo Peep of the blogging world. If you could find it in your heart to sign up for her blog by clicking below, you'll bring a smile to a fine young lady's face. A feed is a terrible thing to waste. Consider it your good deed of the day. And it is completely tax deductible. (ed. note: Do not take tax advice from an internet moron like Crochety. A feed has no value other than the self esteem raising value to the blogger. So, in a way, you are saving a life. That's a lot of really good karma.)
