Hurricane Gustav rolled through Mobile this past Monday morning and didn't really do as much as expected. The majority of our troubles were rain and tornado warning related. Seeing the weather was no real threat, M.A. and Derrick decided it would be a good time for a hurricane party.
The party started out with Christina,MA,Derrick and I throwing change together at a liquor store to get vodka and quickly turned into naptime brought on by a viewing of "Mean Girls" (which is actually one of my favorite movies). Right as people started waking up, Chandler showed up and immediately wanted to go play in the large water puddles. It's amazing how quickly you can turn into an 8 year old.
Parts of Brown Street were under roughly 2 feet of water so that was our first stop. Not having lived in Mobile before, I was not used to seeing so much standing water in the streets as Baldwin county has a little better irrigation. It was a lot of fun, even knowing that a majority of that water was overflow from the gutters... that's where the Hepititis comes into play... I thought I had cut my foot a few times while walking around.
Chris Lyon and Christina joined Chandler and I when we make the walk down Dauphin street and got only as far as Catherine before the bottom fell out of the clouds again and we ended up running back to MA's. I even got the chance to kick water on some little kids that were also playing in the streets with us.
Opportunities to be young again are great. you have to take advantage of them whenever you can... even if you do end up feeling like crap the next day.

OK... if you read all that, I'm very sorry. This was more for me to read later than anything else as I have very poor long term memory and would probably have forgotten this if I didn't write it down.
