[GeoStL] Re: Out of the Office

Camping  -- that's what we've been doing from last Wednesday through .... 
NOW  except in our house with our own beds. ..

Entering DAY FIVE of the Great St. Louis Black Out. We've passed the full 4 
day mark. Well. unless you  count those two teaser times when  the  power 
came on long enough to suck us into thinking we were in the all clear.

Everyone around us seems to have power. We actually had trucks on our 
street. We all ran out screaming, "don't let them get away; Don't let them 
get away!"

Still checking email and getting our technology fix via the power inverter 
that is now plugged into the Jeep -- that can be jump started by rolling it 
out the driveway; my Sable can not.

We've decided that if this is any indication of what it will be like in case 
of a "real" emergency or attack then we're all in BIG trouble .  As my 
husband said, "Just please God, take me on the first strike." Personally I 
like the interviews with the Ameren people that can be summed up in the 
following way, "You'll get your power on when you get your power on .. and 
be damned thankful." sigh

Our good news is that we only hand one medium sizish limb hit the roof on 
the way down and that my slug self hasn't been grocery shopping in a over a 
week. We've lost nothing from our fridge and the dry ice place isn't too far 
from here. We're very much more lucky than many others in our neighbor hood. 
Except for not being able to find a D battery anywhere! LOL

It's one big adventure!!

Certainly  hope everyone else is faring as well as we.

Nancy
