Hugo's wrath

of Charleston
Every so often, I'll be cruising
through life at a nice, easy pace
and something will suddenly come
down on my head like a ton of
bricks. That's happened to me a lot
more lately.
Thp firct ti m/? \i;qc a pnnnlo rS
A Iiv iUJV UllltV TTUO u vvupiv vyi
weeks ago when I was strolling
across The Horseshoe on the way
back to my apartment, Skinnyboy
Manor, and I noticed a large bird
of prey ripping the life out of one
of our cute and cuddly little
squirrels.
But then I thought, hey, that
huge aviary monster was probably
pretty hungry to have to cruise into
Columbia to get some dinner. It's
a good thing we have all these
overpopulating little rodents running
around getting good and fat
to serve as lean cuisine on the paw
for Mr. Hawk over there. Gooo old
Momma Nature takes care of her
own.
Then came Hurricane Hugo, the
biggest, meanest tropical depression
to ever get depressed, and it
i j: * r o
was ucauiug rigiu iui uie ouuui
Carolina coast. That really made
me think.
Remember when you were a kid
and you'd spend all Saturday afternoon
watching Godzilla movies on
T.V.? Unless of course you were
one of those nerdy kids who was
playing chess and reading Neitche,
you faithfully followed the exploits
of Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and
the rest of that crazy gargantuan
mutant gang.
The moral of the movies (if you
chose to look for one) was simple.
Play with atomic weapons, and
you're rewarded for your efforts
with a giant lizard creature with
nuclear powered breath stomping
on Tokyo. After an appropriate
amount of destruction of civilian
and military property, Godzilla
would head back to the sea to return
the next time someone toyed
with the bomb.
Of course, you never saw the Japanese
doctors and lawyers sqbbing
and shaking their heads over
their lost investments, their ruined
financial plans, or the Beachfront
Management Act. They were runnine
their little lees off with everv
one else, screaming "Godzirra!"
and trying to get the hell out of
Dodge. Of course, next time around
Tokyo would be right back
to normal, all ready to get stomped
