God Bless America!

This happened several months ago, but I still chuckle about it. During a huge storm, Mike and I were watching the news. They had a weather girl outside, under a bank overhang. She was yelling into the microphone because it was so loud. There was large hail, fierce wind, and strong, heavy rain. During the 15 minutes we watched, the anchorman switched to her several times so that she could warn people to stay indoors due to the danger of the hail, possible tornadoes, and overall extreme weather.

The great part of the story is what was in the background. In the parking lot behind her, there was a fast-food restaurant. The drive-thru lane was filled with slow-moving cars, picking up their dinners. The entire 15 minutes she was yelling at the audience to take cover, car after car continued to go through the lane.

I thought it was a splendid taste of America.
