Quick Weather Update

(Sorry for the poor quality picture but it was the best my Blackberry could do.)

Hooterville is encased in ice and currently being smothered in snow.

A few have power but many are without.

Us rednecks are a strong stock. Most are surviving with kerosene heaters and oil lamps. Drinking bourbon not only for the warmth but sanity.

Our new office, which we are supposed to be moved in and up and running by 8 a.m. Monday morning is flooded.

Rico’s antique mahogany desk is sitting in water.

The hardwood floors are now a wading pool.

Joy to the world…all the boys and girls.

Contrary to what people have said, Hell can freeze over!

    Okay, any paper that got wet…if it’s damp, lay it out on flat surfaces, weight it down and run every fan you can find. Sodden items: grab plain white bond, gently separate the pages, and put white paper between each page. Wrap in butcher paper, waxed paper if you can’t get it, and put them in the deep freeze. If it’s a self-defroster, it will pull the ice crystals out on their own. If it’s not, freeze the stuff and call a document recovery firm. The state archive can’t help because you’re a private business, but they can point you in the right direction. Contact them at this URL:

    On the wood furniture, just let it air dry as much as possible. Forcing it dry with direct heat will cause it to crack and/or warp. E-mail Sherra through Facebook and ask her what to do with the floor- she’s an interior designer and her husband installs wood floors.

    Hope everything gets better soon and you can fix whatever damage you have cheaply.
