Nice to back on line after four days of "No Power Hell." Our area of Connecticut got hit Friday night and all Saturday by a particularly bad Nor'easter that included pouring rain and hurricane-force winds. The result was literally 500+ big trees down, most of them blocking roads and taking out power lines like so many gossamer webs. We had no power, no heat and, because we are on well water, no water either. Plus it was about 40* F outside (and in). In our three-town area 88,000 homes were in the same boat.
I remember how, as a kid, our mom had to practically lasso us to get us into the tub. Yet, when power finally returned today even before checking my email I first wanted a nice hot shower. Guess I'm growing up.
Anyway, gives one a greater appreciation for Thomas Edison, et al.
