Human Popsicle

Freezing
I'm sure you all have heard that Tennessee got 20" of rain in a 24 hour period last weekend. Flooding hasn't occurred like this since January of 1937. Put simply, things are bad. Even when a situation is very disastrous, a little humor can be found. Frank, my future son-in-law, braved the pouring rain last Sunday to make a trip to the grocery store. As soon as he arrived inside the store, he heard an announcement to move to the back of the store because there was a tornado warning. Store employees herded the soaking wet customers, including Frank, into a freezer room. Luckily he was able to get a signal on his cell phone; so he called my daughter, Holly, to let her know what was happening. He said they were all freezing due to their wet clothes; and that the store employees advised them they could move to another room nearby. However, the other room was a butcher area full of hanging knives and blades. Can't you just picture knives flying in every direction? After thinking briefly about it, Frank replied "No thanks, I'm good". Guess he was happy being a human popsicle!
