There could be MUCH worse things than waiting a few days on shipping.

Funny, I got pretty pissed when they called PRP off last Thursday for a couple minutes, then I turned on the TV and saw the devastation, and felt pretty guilty about it.

Yep for sure. I used to be the same way as a lot of these guys, but I've changed in the past few years, mainly after Hurricane Katrina and I realized how little support we get in our own country for own people vs. support we send overseas.

I went to Biloxi, MS in Oct. 2009 for Habitat for Humanity to build houses and there were still remnants of Katrina in a boarded up apartment tower 2 blocks from the casinos. I met families whose homes these were going to be. Black, Hispanic, White families. The gratitude they showed was no different from family to family. I try hard to realize and appreciate the things I have and how very easily it can all be taken away. Easy come, easy go.

I was down there in '07 for the Air Force. It was horrible. Same place, up the road in Gulfport, MS.

Lol, here I thought a Mustang site would be a good place to bitch about not getting parts for my car.

I see those things different. I have had many offers for jobs in different parts of the country, and parts of the world. One of my criteria when considering them is if my ass was going to get flattened by a tornado, hurricane, earthquake, flood, or burned down by wild fires. I choose to live where I do because beside snow to my balls sometimes, those other risks are low. It's a fundamental principal that we can choose where we live.

I have seen devastation in the world, I've worked with people that live on $100.00 a month and had everything washed to sea by tsunami, seen the dirt poverty at the ends of the world and worked in it, and have learned that stuff happens to people and you should count your own blessings and go on with your life. So excuse me if I don't put my life and its petty problems aside because people that choose to live in an area referred to as tornado alley got their lives upset by a tornado, or that someone that lives on a fault got their house flattened, other that lives in a postal area below sea level got flooded when a hurricane hits. I get it, but we all draw different lines.

So what are you all DOING about this?

I'm right there with you on this. I feel bad for these people but they chose to live there and have to understand the risks.

Understandable argument. However, I was just expanding on the perspective thing, not people being responsible for their decision to live in a place that has inherent risk of natural disaster. That doesn't mean they deserve to lose everything.

**Troll** · 06-01-2011, 04:48 PM

no no no... when I put the

smilie at the end of my judgemental post, that exonerated me from and wrongdoing.

Nope, the Chevy truck that runs PRP in Street and Trophy holds that honor. Red truck with yellow flames, except the flames was two licks, sort of looked like a "Y" on the side ... They removed them for this year.

Very cool

On another note, if all goes as planned my Mustang will have a new owner tomorrow. I have a deposit on it and we are supposed to go do the transfer tomorrow. It is going to be a sad day.

Never thought I would get rid of it.
