    The Power Outage/Surge

    Since the City is still functioning, you must have:
    A: Avoided the outage
    B: Had a generator handy;

    Glad to see things are still working.

    Good that you have power, millions didn`t.

    I can empathize with your snow, but I can`t really sympathize. We have plenty of it here.

    All the nasty weather is north of us. So far our power is fine and I hope it stays that way. Looks like it is just missing you guys up in Tampa too.

    The storms have been rolling through here for the past couple hours (Orlando area). It`s pouring outside, but no power outages so far.

    The paper said they don`t know why a fire in Miami affected the outage in the whole state. We had power here at the shop, but it went out for a while at home.

    On a different note, it is a mere freezing 60 degrees today, burr.

    Well if it was a fire at a power distribution center that maybe the cause....

    Umm your temprature is 60 and you are complaining...

    I welcome 60 degrees with open arms...
    I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.

    If it will help, you can have the 24 degrees we have here. Only leaves you 36 degrees short.

    With all the snow and ice that is still on the streets, keeping a car clean wouldn`t happen here if it was 60.
