On top of that being in the Coast Guard we also have to be ready to evacuate our boats and prepare the unit for foul weather. Normally we convoy our boats up to Tampa or other times we get deployed to the areas that have been affected by the storm to help with recovery. Around Southern Florida we do not take these storms lightly and always prepare well beforehand.…

“I’m going to treat myself to a pedicure done by a white lady. That’s when you know you’ve made it,” an excited Jessica Huang exclaimed to her husband in the “License to Sell” episode of ABC’s Fresh Off the Boat. With this statement, Jessica Huang deemed the white race the gold standard of human beings and simultaneously demeaned other ethnic groups by equating them with the lowest common denominator.

He used it to try new things such as drinking turtle blood which saved him from dehydration and eat the waste of the tiger which ended up bad for him but calmed his head of his hunger. Madness also protect such as come up to the surface of the boat in a storm which in turn saved his life from the sinking of the boat. In the…
