Hurricaine Fashion

Hurricaine season has started for 2006. Ernesto didn't do much damage in Florida, it was just a tropical storm there. It picked up speed as it went over the warm waters traveling north. Damage in the Carolinas is expected to be worse than Florida.

What to do for a hurricaine? Most know the basics, stock up on food, water, batteries, etc. Boring. It has to be done, but boring.

There are more interesting items to add to the list. First, a stop at the local liquor store for your favorite beverages, and that of everyone else you know. If they deliver, all the better.

Next, the supermarket. Yes, get the basics. Then get all the goodies for a party. Various cheeses are great. This is always a good time to taste new cheeses. Cavier is also fun. Fresh tomatoes are great this time of year. They make a great salsa. A huge bowl of shrimp is great snacking. Use your imagination. Don't forget mixers!

Call everyone you know - or have room for - that is local and invite them all for a hurricaine party! You might want to ask each to bring something - food, drinks, paper goods. Guests should arrive ASAP. After all, who wants to be alone for a hurricaine?

It's fun to play board games, team games, watch movies, play music and even dance! You could make a list for a scavenger hunt after the hurricaine passes. Course people may be hunting for their cars first...

And clothes? Whatever is most comfortable. The perfect outfit is jeans and a huge comfortable shirt, preferably a t-shirt.
