You've been away too long. You've forgotten what the real America is like, out here away from the coasts where the work that makes this nation great occurs. No sir and no again. Not only would our hands NOT be out but should help be proffered we would turn the same down. Such is our ethos of self-reliance.

Goatnapper will back me up on this.

Depends on if they're cemented up or not, but even without the extra weight it takes a fair bit of wind.

Be sure to use the tires with the "Z" speed rating.

l don't think anybody excelled at having the hand out quite like the New Orleans folks. The Mississippi folks got clocked much worse than Louisiana during Katrina but how much hollering did you hear from them.
