Ärende: Storm warnings
======================
Hi Ruth,

->  RH> If I'm out someplace all day I generally keep a protein bar in my
->  RH> purse. Solves the problem.

-> They're used more for a quick "gotta get going" type breakfast around
-> here.

 RH> I usually eat real food for breakfast.

Steve would grab them on his way out the door for class when he got too
busy with other projects to fix a proper breakfast. We've still got
some, will probably take some along when we travel again.

-> Good idea; we saw on the news about the weather system you're getting.

 RH> That's what happened; I didn't get plowed out until 4PM Sunday.  Not
 RH> going anywhere until Monday afternoon.

And by then, hopefully the grocery store shelves will be resupplied.


-> I'm glad we had to make the trip last week, not this week as far as
-> weather goes. I understand there's quite a few folks still living in
-> tents, cooking on camp stoves, etc since Sandy went thru and this storm
-> is predicted to be just about as bad. Be glad you have a house,
-> hopefully your power will stay on and you'll be able to cook & wash up.

 RH> It stayed on, but the towns around here are still digging out.  They
 RH> lost power on parts of the coast, but inland outages were a house here
 RH> and a house there.

This time the prime beachfront property was awash.

->  RH> Fortunately ours was today; tomorrow is blizzard day.

-> Blizzard is almost too mild a word for what I've heard is predicted.

 RH> We didn't get the really bad winds here, but yeah. Royal mess is a
 RH> better term.

Agreed, from what I've seen on tv or read in the paper.

->  RH> I'm not allergic to the one I'm on now, at least not yet.

-> Hopefully you'll finish the course without a reaction, or at least
-> finish enough until the storm clears the area. Do you have friends with
-> snowmobiles handy?

 RH> I wish.  Horse drawn sleighs are good too.

Probably harder to find tho.

Catch you later,

... Nothing is ever lost. It's just where it doesn't belong.
