Everybody -
I've been off the air for three days due to a large winter snow storm dumping over a foot of snow on us and taking out electricity, internet, and phone service (both landline and cell service).
Stay warm, stay dry, and above all, stay safe. See ya when you can.
Obviously, I'm back on the air, based on the fact I'm posting here.
Staying warm isn't a problem. The 16'x16' we're living in is (fairly) well insulated and was originally outfitted for off-grid use, with electrical service installed quite a few years after we moved in. We still have the (too large) wood stove, one propane light, and a propane heater that takes in outside air and vents fumes outside through the wall. (We did, eventually, replace the propane refrigerator with an electric.) Unfortunately, we haven't yet gotten around to refilling the propane tanks so we made do with the wood stove, flashlights, candles, and oil lamps.
Just like old times, with a bit less of the sex we used for entertainment back then.
And you're sticking to that story of shoveling snow causing a heart attack?

Break out the squirrel cage, squirrels, and V belt. I'll bet you can come up with something.
About the good folks in Congress, please don't get me started, as I for one think all professional politicians should serve two terms. One in office, and one in prison.
