Trailer LivingDo you know what an Alabama divorce and a tornado have in common? With either one somebody is going to lose a perfectly good trailer home. Trailers are just an extension of the same types of portable housing that the Mongols used back in ancient times. What we now call trailer parks they used to call hordes. They had the pony, we have the Camaro. They invaded China, we invade Panama City. The more things change, the more they stay the same. In the remake of the movie Gone with the Wind, Tara was upgraded. It is now a double wide, with a garden tub and a deck. It’s pretty sweet digs. Hopefully Sherman (or his descendents) won’t come through and try to burn down the trailer park. My mobile home's bigger than your mobile home. Post pictures here for bragging rights.

If it’s an old trailer that has been turned into a chicken coop, tornadoes will schedule their vacations just to come knock that down. In Texas and Oklahoma they have turned tornadoes into an Olympic sport. It’s not uncommon for a tornado to wipe out entire towns. It’s about the only entertainment that they have in some of those places. When we want widespread destruction like that in the South, we will schedule a family reunion or a hurricane. Either one serves as a good excuse to get drunk. If given a choice, most of us would prefer a hurricane over a family reunion. Hurricanes aren’t nearly as destructive as Uncle Earl when he’s been drinking. Got a hairy twister story? Click EasyEdit to tell about it, and don't forget to post some pictures!
