Morning From Windy Hell Paradise

[Jim]

Morning, I was tinking the same thing. It may be a pain in the ass Cleo, but at least you have power after you do the pooring.

Remember a few years ago, in the middle of winter when the big ice storm took out all the power in Montreal for a few weeks. Imagine dealing with below 0 temps with no power

No earthquakes, no muddy landslides, no firestorms, no cold weather, and a year around beach full of almost naked bodies. Yeah there is a few reasons that I love living here.

People out at the malls and stuff look like hell unable to take proper showers or do their hair. At least the ones that not lucky enough to have power or a generator.

Angel came over my house last night to use my internet. (A lot of my neighbors have since I'm about the only WiFi spot around) Angel has power but no one else on her block does and she said that her neighbors are giving her envious looks.

Yeah soon you all in the northern US can start bitching about what a bad winter you are having while I'm relaxing at the beach. I may even have electric service by then.

Yep, no power, and therefore no heat, for 11 days for us. Our son was only 7 months old when that happened, so I drove 8 hours south into the US to find a generator, and then straight back home. My Aunt had gas heating in her house, so I tied the generator into her furnace fan so we at least had heat. A bunch of the family went over there, and at one point, there were over 40 of us staying in her house.

For the first few days it was hard to find food, as nothing was open. But, we survived
