Tornado sirens going off, and
I just finished a large, economy-sized vodka and cranberry juice--this could get interesting.

I'm soooo relaxed . . . . :silly:

5. Storms are actually way far east-northeast of here, moving in
totally the other direction. They always sound the sirens if there's a sighting anywhere in the county--drives everybody crazy.

However, it is getting a little dark outside all of a sudden--hmm, maybe I should go look outside . . . .

4. See all the other responses?
I'd wager a bet that they are not used to tornadoes.

Just wondering: was it an especially strong dose of vodka? I'm got a nice couple of shots of vodka in my screwdriver while I'm watching the local weather.

6. Probably four ounces--I dunno, I never measure.
It wasn't too strong, though-just enough to relax me a little. The day was blech.

Enjoy that screwdriver.

7. It was such a humid day here.
I really needed the screwdriver, especially since there is nothing but wx on the regular channels right now.

I turned on Cartoon Network to relax my kid and made a screwdriver to relax me.
