Add in ignorance and they never fail to demonstrate it too.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Cali, she being the leader of the Earwig Infestation, is trying to garner something called 'sympathy' for her lot.

She made her bed.  She has to lie in it.

I swear for the smartest, bestest, most edumacated people on the internet they sure cannot seem to figure out how to hold a steady job or manage money.

Just how "big" would something have to be, to be a tornado in Connecticut, one of the smallest places in the union, barely worth being considered a state at all?

Ooops, the Royal Crown Cola primitive challenges the geoegoism of New England primitives, who think everybody knows where something's at in that small patch of ground:

3. The "CT" didn't provide a clue?

Connecticut.

I'll be damned.  The evil twin can actually spell "Connecticut."  Too bad he didn't in his original post.

I keep checking that campfire, to see if the cousin's weighed in on the matter yet, giving tornado-survival tips to the Connecticutians.

Not yet; maybe she's still on scanner duty.

I think there are some ranches down here that are bigger than CT.  :whistling:
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

How log does it take to drive across Connecticut?  I think I could probably do it on my lunch break.

If you have an hour rather than just half an hour, you could probably do Rhode Island and Massachusetts (width-wise) too.

I think we in SC call those whirlwinds or dust devils.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

New England has very few tornado's , when they or a flat line or burst hits it discombobulates us.

We had one come through here and uprooted trees, sent trees onto roofs and through windows, put a few homes off their foundations.   

We lucked out on that both homes on each side of our home suffered damage as did homes in a direct line headed down to the beach 3 miles away.

Reminded me of a town down the road that has a public park that was hit and killed a few people and left the area with trees  for acres that resembled being bombed.   

Out of the blue these things happen, no warnings, cannot be tracked or expected.

Those in tornado country can expect one at any time but usually they have at least a 20 minute warning.   

For us there is no warning of any kind to these strange happenings.   We have days to prepare for a hurricane, ice storm or blizzard.   We do get mild earth quakes from time to time but nothing like CA.

We get more flash flood warnings up here then other weather warnings.   Have had a few towns flooded out but not to the extent of those in the Mid West.

Since Nads hasn't confirmed it, then it didn't happen.     :rotf:
