70 Remember, Mickey. Parts of the East Coast are bracing for a blizzard. They are probably out buying milk and toilet paper. _____________________

Yes, I'm right in the path of the storm, and it's coming down very hard now.
I did my shopping early early, before the crowds hit. From memory: Grocery (on top of an already-mostly-adequate pantry): 1 gallon of milk 2 large loaves crusty San Francisco Sourdough (artisan, sliced) 2 large skinned/boned chicken breasts (for scappolini) 2.5 lb beef roast (will slow roast for dinner, then sandwiches) 1/2 lb sharp new york cheddar 1/2 lb white cheddar 6 gala apples 3 lbs russet potatoes 1.5 lbs white onions 3 heads garlic 5 lbs short grain/sticky rice (Nishiki) 0.5 lb grape (like 'cherry' but different) tomatoes 8 oz. sour cream 12 oz. uncured apple-smoked bacon (thick sliced) obligatory extra TP Alcohol (from the State store, we're one of those old states): 1.5 litres Reisling 2 bottles 'barefoot' champagne, extra dry (http://www.barefootwine.com/our-wines/overview/bubbly/ExtraDry.html) 3 litre jug of Sho Chiku Bai sake (Tengu fuel ![]() So, just finished dinner (the scappolini), watching the snow come down at about 45 degrees, and sipping a Reisling. Let it snow. |

30 inches of snow - that is a new ice age. If I were in Washington I would be running for my life.

Those of us a bit more familiar with lengthy snow events would suggest that you invest less in perishable foods and more in stuff that keeps well when the power goes out. Like chocolate. _____________________

Plus, it's 5 pm on a Friday on the East Coast. All the people who hang out here during their work day are headed home.

Like chocolate. I live downtown - if things got _really_ bad I could trudge 3 blocks down my street and have my choice of pizza, chinese, middle-east, (excellent, though pricey) Thai, and oy-vey deli. (but yes, I have a thoroughly stocked non-perishable pantry - I grew up out in the boonies ![]() |

Who remembers the big power failure that knocked out most of the US north-east a few years ago.
Fun times, that was ![]() I had planned a barbecue for friends and all I still needed to pick up on the way home was gasoline for the car, beer and ice cream! Figures that those were all things that were not to be had. Fortunately, my friends brought the beer and we had ourselves a great ol' barbecue (in this case, NEEDING to eat all the perishables due to extreme lack of snow to keep things cool ![]() _____________________

30 inches of snow - that is a new ice age. If I were in Washington I would be running for my life. It's over now. Until the next one hits, day after tomorrow. We shoveled the drive three times in two days. Power was out for over 24 hours and we retreated to the family room and kitchen, heated by our fireplace insert. Looks like we got about 18" or so, heavy and wet. I hope Al Gore got stuck in it while driving an SUV and froze to death. _____________________

I was curious when the all time highest number of users were logged in to these forums. The answer was July 19, 2006 when 3632 residents crowded this forum at 4:23 PM wanting to know....
"When will the grid be back up?" (Apparently, it was an update day and the update had gone ok...then not ok and they took the grid back down again.) Hehe. Remember update days? You kids ain't got nothin' ta whine about today. Get off my lawn. Anyway. What was going on on the forums? Here was the thread list...which just goes to show you, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Does it take two lines to identify group chat? Any SL DJs want a HUGE audience? If your ban list is empty.... AHA! They're verifying the problem.... How do you give cash wedding gift? OMG! 8,000 People are on SL! My Goddess! Even TSO didn't have this much of an Update problem!!! Do You Find Color Annoying? 3D snapshots Progress? What Progress? Everything is gone....? Pushback Is there a guide to running a preview version? What does this mean? Seeking Sci-Fi Confederacy Saved Head Help? Who makes the best guns in SL? Ok heres a way to pass the time Compulsion Overdrive is a Bully What's on you mind? Thank You Lindens... Why can't SL be as stable as other MMOGs? this entire update sucks cheap but efficient home security My Observations after one year in SL Whats up with Age Play, Goreans, and Furries?

Courtesy of Frank Zappa:
Elvis has just left the building -- Those are his footprints, right there Elvis has just left the building -- To climb up that heavenly stair He gave away Cadillacs once in a while; Had sex in his underpants, Yes, he had style! Bell-bottom jump-suits? That's them in a pile, But he don't need'em now, 'Cause he's makin' Jesus smile! Elvis has just left the building -- Those are his footprints, right there Elvis has just left the building -- To climb up that heavenly stair The Angels all love him, He brings them relief With droplets of moisture From his handkerchief! Cher'bim 'n ser'phim Whizz over his head -- Jesus, let him come back! We don't want Elvis dead. Elvis has just left the building -- Those are his footprints, right there Elvis has just left the building -- To climb up that heavenly stair So what if he looks like a wart-hog in heat? He knows we all love him -- We'll just watch him eat, So take down the foil From his hotel retreat, And bring back The King For the man in the street! Elvis has just left the building -- Those are his footprints, right there Elvis has just left the building -- To climb up that heavenly stair He's up there with Jesus, in a big purple chair _____________________
