I'm west of the storm. I'm OK, fortunately. Yes, I live in
PRNY.

This AM, the exhaust sheared, on my van. I spent about four
hours patching it (metal content). I'll write more about
that, if asked.

Lets hope the Occupy Wall Street crowd freeze butt, and go
home to thier mom's cellars. Lets hope the hard working
people of the area are safe, and no injuries from candles,
carbon monoxide, etc.

This just after the major power cut in Boulder, Colorado. A
million plus, without power, due to snow storm.

It's long past time to be looking for backup heat, power,
light. For these ever so much more common power cuts. A word
to the wise is sufficient.



I was running the lathe when power went out. Not in a cut just making
some program edits. Bang! Dark! I closed up and went home. Monday
AM here and power is back on. I did need my generator at home for
most of Saturday and most of Sunday.
