What a pair of morons. We should have used the time to sell the house to somebody and let HIM worry about the patio furniture. They are designed to function perfectly during a natural disaster. It was only young Trey, sensing somehow that this was a superb time to practice. So we all had a good laugh, and there is a stron chance that some of our hearts will eventually resume beating.
Few people realize how dangerous a garden hose can be.
I found out while attempting to siphon gasoline into a chainsaw so I could locate our house, which was somewhere inside a mass of fallen trees approximately the size of Cambodia. We had obtained the chainsaw from these men who sprang up all over the place, mushroom-like, immediately after the storm. They were selling truckloads of powerful, potentially lethal chain saws to South Florida homeowners whose experience with dangerous tools was pretty much limited to corkscrews. I watched a TV reporter ask one of the chain saw sellers if he had any Safety Tips for the viewing audience. Bearing that safety tip in mind, I unpacked my new chainsaw, and determined, using mechanical aptitude, that you had to put gasoline into it.
