The FEMA rap

I couldn’t make this up.

Disaster … it can happen anywhere,
But we’ve got a few tips, so you can be prepared
For floods, tornadoes, or even a ‘quake,
You’ve got to be ready – so your heart don’t break.

Disaster prep is your responsibility
And mitigation is important to our agency.

People helping people is what we do
And FEMA is there to help see you through
When disaster strikes, we are at our best
But we’re ready all the time, ’cause disasters don’t rest.

(And yes, there is audio.)

I certainly feel safer the next time a major disaster strikes.

The Return of Heartburn

For the first time in the six or so weeks that I’ve been taking the NapraPAC, I woke up early this morning with heartburn, and pretty bad heartburn at that. I’m not sure what brought it on — I took my Prevacid a few hours late yesterday, had some (non-spicy) Thai food for lunch and had nibbles of a lot of different things at Shelly’s Place for a story before last night’s council meeting.

I forgot how much I hate heartburn. Yuck.
