    Hi James,
 JR> By the look of it you depend somewhat on your computer, so being
 JR> without the power to run it or a few days must have been miserable for
 JR> you?
    One does get used to using  a computer  I admit,  but most  of the 
misery  was  from freezing.   Life is  difficult without  the creature 
comforts....
 JR> Well, I suppose that we are off-topic, being in the UFO echo with
 JR> this, but it makes one think that we exist as very fragile beings, and
 JR> an intervention from a technological standpoint by advanced
 JR> intelligences might not be too bad an idea after all! :-)
    I think nature always  has a  way of  sabatoging the  most complex 
technology.  It isn't that the systems are that weak etc,  it was  the 
storm was that severe.   The ice  is 6  to 8  inches thick  in places, 
streets, sidewalks, some UFO should  have flown  through during  these 
storms, you might have had a downed one :)..................
Happy Trails,
Fred.
