Luckily we didn't lose power, although others in our area were without electricity for almost a week. And, of course, we didn't have it nearly as bad as many others did. Counting our blessings, that's for sure. (October 30, 2012)

"There's always another storm. It's the way the world works. Snowstorms, rainstorms, windstorms, sandstorms, and firestorms. Some are fierce and others are small. You have to deal with each one separately, but you need to keep an eye on what's brewing for tomorrow."
