At least the taxis finally got a bath...

Sal****er sterilized them, too.


Sort of sucks though since they no longer make the CV.


Upstate had MUCH less than forecast. Some gusty wind but less than 1/2"
of rain.
Basically a non-event so far. Power was out for about 17 hrs.

Seen a lot of the folks who REFUSED to evacuate whining that they wanted
to be rescued. My opinion is that if you stayed behind and now need
rescue you should pay for the assist.

Here in northern CT it was pretty much a non-event. For me it turned
over an empty trash can, dropped a few branches, and not much else.
Accuweather and the Governor were telling me that the sky was falling
the whole time.
Didn't even take all my leaves away

Luckily, it didn't take the entirity of the last block's leaves and
deposit all of -them- on your property, either. Thank your lucky
stars, Gerry.

We're having a whopper of a storm series out here. They have dropped
nearly an INCH of rain in the past week. 6mph winds with gusts to 12.
I think I prefer our smaller storms to your whopper storms, guys.

Getting ready for the disruptions that may come after the election
and/or the Great Cull, I ordered a minor student medical kit (Paki
forceps, scalpel, scissors, tweezers, holder for $9), extra povidone,
sutures (dozen, with needles for $12), emergency food for a month, a
portable ham radio (studying for the license now), extra medical
supplies (tampons/pads/tape/butterflies), extra ammo for each gun,
stocked up on water, etc. Some I've had for months, some is in the
mail now, due today.

Is everybody ready for the pahhhhhhty? sigh
