At 1418 this afternoon, I did not receive the presidential test alert. I'm a little worried. I know several people that received it, no problem, same area code, same town, but not me. What did I do? Was it a technical glitch? My phone was on, I waited purposefully to see the screen that says I got it. But I didn't get it. So what now? Do I contact my senator and complain, maybe it was something I did in my past, maybe it was a phone conversation that was previously recorded by the NSA, I just don't know what to think of it!
I'm worried. What if there was a thermonuclear launch and I'm putzing around my yard whistling a Happy tune. My phone doesn't alert me to Run for Cover and suddenly without warning, it's 100 million degrees Celsius before I realize what's even happening. Can you imagine getting stuck in a situation such as that? I want to talk to the president, I think he needs to hear my concerns. Maybe I'll send off a quick online email to my senator, who is the Republican, he would understand.
By the way, it is now 1515 local time and still no test has arrived on my Android. I could be Dust in the Wind at this point in time had it been an actual Thermonuclear launch and alert. I don't even know if I could get to sleep tonight over this. I have a safe place in my garage that I occupy when there are tornadoes imminent. Maybe I should go in there... I just recently bombed it for insect infestation so it should be pretty clean... I need some soup, some chicken soup, and warm homemade bread like Mama used to make. but first I have to go putz around the yard it is finally dry enough to mow and maybe my mowing will take me to "that other place where men go" when mowing.
LOL! But actually, my phone was inside on the table and I was on the front porch.
That's actually the purpose of the test. They are expecting those of us who didn't receive it to email FEMA and they will send us a questionnaire so that they can gather information and make sure it works for next time.
Also, did you notice the time of the message?
2:18
What is the significance of that? 218 seats are needed for the GOP to maintain majority in the House.
Our president trolls on multiple levels.
