Slip some juice to me, Bruce.

Folks who've heard the song "Transfusion" will get the subject. Everyone else can go to AYCH, EE, Double Hockey Sticks.

We got about power back shortly after 3 PM and there was much rejoicing and merrymaking. Do you know what rejoicing and merrymaking are with two sick people? It's basically like this.

Me: "Aunt Tudi, the lights are back on!"
Aunt Tudi: oh good.
Me: We should get something to eat quickly just in case it doesn't last.
Aunt Tudi: Yeah, I'm a slight bit peckish.

(Shuffleshuffleshuffle. On comes the microwave. Beverages are poured. Aunt Tudi checks cable)

Aunt Tudi: Cable is still out.
Me: Damn. And 'Judge Judy' comes on in a few minutes. I'll check closer to time.
Aunt Tudi: Do you want some grapes?
Me: uh huh.

(Shuffleshuffleshuffle. Opens the front door.)

Me: Dang! We have about a quarter inch of ice on the contorted filbert. I gotta get more pictures.
Aunt Tudi: And it's still coming down isn't it?
Me: uh huh

So that was it.

Now for pictures of our immediate surroundings.












Cable came back shortly after four. Yay!

Yipeee! You're back! (my friend over in Inman still doesn't have power)

Nice icy pic's!

They're saying this is the worst ice storm EVAR. Hope your pal in Inman gets juice back soon. Hundreds of thousands of folks are in the dark still.
