Weather Advisory

Al knew how to prepare for a winter storm. He organized his four kids into snow shoveling quadrants and trained his Basset Hound to howl at the first sign of a flake. His wife had to check the entire car for defects.
Leo, his neighbor, offered his NASA designed snow blower, but Al declined. He wanted his kids to be self sufficient.
He subscribed to Netflicks. Last storm they had tried charades and his kids thought he and his wife's interpretation of Jay Z and Beyonce was a rendition of Zombie Nation.
The sky darkened, wind increased, small pets flew past, old women in black held crucifixes, the mayor warned everyone to stay home.
Only the town checkers center was open. 42 hardy checker players were hold up inside playing one game after another. Courage comes in many forms. Three days later, when they were dug out from two feet of snow, it was discovered cannibalism and board games are not mutually exclusive.
Al lay flowers on the site. His dog pissed nearby. Now that was mutually exclusive.
