Sensible Kid

Via oyster:

As Hurricane Dean gains strength, The Daytona Beach News Journal reports:

An 8-year-old child scared of hurricanes tried to go back to Ohio where she moved from -- on her bicycle -- DeLand police Deputy Chief Randel Henderson said Thursday.

"It is amusing but at the same time sad," Henderson said.
...
The little girl stated to police "that she was headed back to Columbus Ohio, because she was afraid of hurricanes and that was her home," the report said...


Sounds like that girl has far more brains than her parents. But she's too smart for Columbus, where many don't like to talk about things like evolution or global warming. When she's old enough, she should come little further North to Ann Arbor, where she'll learn why she's scared and what to do about it.

Florida's in the same problem New Orlean is, but there's a level of delusion that comes with not having been burnt as badly. Yet.
