OMG! I'm freaked out! I only live 15 miles from the National Emergency!

Why aren't there police cruising the streets with sirens and warnings like

Scared out of my wits here! I may need counseling.....

Which guitar do I keep when I escape to the North? Or am I supposed to
turn left, or is it right? Or go straight (which will never happen).

We're only five miles south of the Canadian border, and there is a shortage of Border Patrol agents. Oh, the horror!

Beer, pop tarts, tarks, masking tape, & water. Or maybe more beer. (Wal-Marts in Florida say these are what everybody buys before hurricanes.)
