You know you're from the Gulf Coast when...
You have FEMA's number on speed dial. You have more than 300 'C' and 'D' batteries in
your kitchen drawer. When describing your house to a prospective
buyer, you say it has three bedrooms, two baths and one safe hallway.
You are on a first-name basis with the cashier at Home Depot.
You are delighted to pay $3 for a gallon of regular unleaded.
The road leading to your house has been declared a No-Wake Zone.
You decide that your patio furniture looks better on the bottom of the pool.
You can wish that other people get hit by a hurricane and not feel the least bit guilty about it.

LaughterBy yourself or with somebodyThe human race has only one really effective weapon, and that's laughter.
The moment it arises, all our harnesses yield, all our irritations slip
away, and a sunny spirit takes their place. Mark Twain

You know you’re from the Gulf Coast when: You catch a 13-pound redfish - in your driveway. You can recite from memory whole portions of your
homeowner's insurance policy. At cocktail parties, women are attracted to the guy
with the biggest chainsaw. There is a blue tarp where your roof used to be. Someone comes to your door to tell you they found
your roof. Ice is a valid topic of conversation. Relocating to South Dakota does not seem like such a
crazy idea. You spend more time on your roof then in your living
room. You've been laughed at over the phone by a roofer,
fence builder or a tree worker. A battery powered TV is considered a home
entertainment center. You don't worry about relatives wanting to visit
during the summer. Having a tree in your living room does not necessarily
mean it's Christmas.

Within each of us is a hidden store of energy.Energy we can release to compete in the marathon of life.
Within each of us is a hidden store of courage. Courage to give us the strength to face any challenge.
Within each of us is a hidden store of determination. Determination to keep us in the race when all seems lost."
Roger Dawson
