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.

This storm is just one more excellent example of why the nation's
infrastructure needs to be upgraded.

In today's world, electricity is expected to be there 24/7...and when
it is not it can be life and death.

If the electrical grid is not updated for whatever reason, why don't
houses/apartments come equiped with their own local electrical
generation?
