Suu

Meanwhile, somewhere in Clearwater, Florida, the Suu Family are the only ones within 300 miles that own winter coats...In fact, my sister said the funniest thing is watching what people are putting together FOR cold weather wear, and some women asked her where she got her coat from and if there were any left.

To which my sister replied, "This is what you have to do, you wanna drive across the state and jump on I-95, after about a 1000 miles or so you need to swing into this place called Burlington Coat Factory, there, you can go in, and asked to speak to some guy name Tony who's got the hookups. Tell em I sent ya."

Apparently the women almost took her seriously.  :lulz:

I guess people bitched after that one, so they actually do storm days now for all tropical systems sans depression. Pinellas County Schools stop for NOTHING.

No, you guys know about rolling blackouts, right? You realize those are engineered profiteering? This is, hilariously, not even a conspiracy theory, but an actual proven conspiracy which people went to prison for.

Theoretically it's done when the load from the grid exceeds the energy provider's capacity. In California, Enron did it to increase profits.
