A Quick Note

Nothing cures a boring day in the mental hospital like a few tornadoes. Especially if you’re outside to enjoy them.

    Again: Natural disaster, mental hospital.

    If you’re in the mental hospital, do they really let you outside to watch tornadoes?

    Seems that would be something of a flight risk.

    Well, it was better than being in the basement with the poor woman who has stress-related IBS.

    Which is, in turn, better BEING the poor woman in the basement of a mental hospital with stress-related IBS…

    Whatever tornado-laden region you’re in now is starting to sound awfully familiar. But we don’t have tornadoes.

    Seriously…

    The basement? Are you sure you’re not, like, filming Saw III?

    “Get in the basement and under some kind of sturdy protection (heavy table or work bench), or cover yourself with a mattress or sleeping bag. Know where very heavy objects rest on the floor above (pianos, refrigerators, waterbeds, etc.) and do not go under them. They may fall down through a weakened floor and crush you.”

    In this case, we had a basement and a bunch of really freaked out clients. I took it upon myself to do a parking lot sweep and happened to witness, not one, not two, but four tornadoes swirling above. AND I got to drag an old man from his car indoors. Way better than paperwork.

    What was he doing with his car indoors?

    Oh, right. The tornado.
