I don't get AM in my car that why I have to listen to NPR for something other than mindless radio like Lex&terry or anything on 93.3.

The firewall built into XP is good enough. It doesn't block spyware, but it blocks everything coming from outside.

What an adventurous nightmare for you! I thought about all of you all night long. Mom taught me the someone else's shoes thing to well!

Gee .. more good news .. /sarcasm>

[JustPiper]

Spolied in Chicago too -g- Although I did live in one another that was hit weekly up North. But it was reiterated 1000 times in our news we do not share a grid.

He had to walk home from Wall Street last night. 5:00 pm to 1:00 am.

Holy crap! And that after working all day! You sure raised one strong young man! Good work!

MSNBC is reporting that Times Square got their power back an hout ago

[JustPiper]

Ah, were we watching the same newscaster? New Yorkers were given a special treat they never get to see, stars ;)

[JustPiper]

Yep I heard that too, as well as the fancy toilets that flush when you stand up ;)

[MEG33]

Oh my..I couldn't have made it.Glad you son did.

I remember about 40 years ago my uncle in Western NY telling me about taking some NYC ghetto kids on a summer camping trip -- and how utterly in awe they were of the stars. They had never seen stars before. Maybe some kids did get a big treat last night.

[JustPiper]

Amen and fingers crossed ;)

Damn the Mayor of Cleveland, Jane "Feinstein" Campbell is one

Is it just me or soes she remind everyone of a friends annoying b!tchy mom?

I call her "Calamity Jane" and absolutely. Though her mom is worse...a Castro behindlicker par excellence who was instrumental in sending Elian Gonzales back to prison.

A liberal Democrat with Bloombergian elitist tendencies, she spearheaded a crackdown on the traditional pre-Browns game tailgate parties. I suppose this can be expected from a :spit: Michigan fan.

What about those folx sleeping on sidewalks?

[TexasNative2000]

Are you OK up there?

[JustPiper]

Sounds like the first time I saw a twister in Oklahoma, in disappeared right into a manmade pond!

I know --- but it's nice to see there is still a lot of traditional Americaness about this country that people will take something like this and start throwing "black-out" parties instead of rioting, looting, or panicking.

Agreed. I think after 9/11, something like a blackout is nothing to most of those in NYC. If it lasted through the weekend, I'd be worried, but most are good people.
