    It actually wasn't too bad except for the fact we had no power. At the time we had already bought another house but the one we were in was right behind Montavilla Park and there were some Gypsy's that lived on the other side of 82nd and I was pissed cause you could see they had lights which turned out to be gas lamps.

    In many states dogs are considered property so technically we can sell him.

    Sly is a dog.
    Marazul has been upset in the past over libtards getting the dog eating festival cancelled in a certain country.
    We now know why he was upset.
    He wants to eat Sly.

    I hope she takes care.

    I rode out one hurricane in 1962 and it was no fun. These things aren't to be trifled with.

    We had power in less than half an hour. Our house was near St. Vincent and Good Samaritan hospitals and several medical clinics. Our house was sheltered from the wind although there was a large fir tree near our back yard. It would have fallen right on top of us had the wind been stronger since the tree was to our South by about 50 to 75 feet.

    I was stuck in an apartment building half way between my high school and home. I thought it was funny that the lights were flickering in the shower where I went after cross country practice. Then, as I walked up hill by the MAC club, I thought it was also funny that I couldn't stay on the sidewalk 'cause the wind was blowing my into the street. When I got to the top where I turned on to West Over, a patrol officer told me to get off the street and that's when he took off. I ducked into the nearest apartment building and watched the storm through the plate glass on the front door.

    After the storm, I couldn't walk a half a block without running into a fallen tree or power or telephone pole. The next day, you could hear chain saws all over the city.

    Why was the wind blowing a burly brute such as I am? Well, you're not going to believe this but I was skinny as a matchstick. I wrestled at 96 lbs. my freshman year. Still a lightweight in my sophomore year. Today, I retain my boyish figure. I figure beer is the secret.

    It's aspirational, not a promise.

    Thank you for the qualification. It makes a whole lot more sense, which is saying something for you. Oh come on, don't cry. I'm sure you've been slammed before. Now me? I'm not used to being slammed so go easy. Also, I cry easily. I cry at chick flicks for Pete's sake.

    Let's leave Pete out of this. He's not responsible for your issues.

    Okay, sorry. Can you see my tears? I told you I was sensitive and you just steamrolled right over me. Why, it's gonna take this short case of cheap beer to repair the damage you've done to my ego. I hope you're happy.

    By the way, how is Pete doing? Haven't seen him in years. Wait a minute, I don't even know a Pete. Why did you bring him into it?

    He was born a little baby on the Appalachian Trail
    At six months old he'd done three months in jail
    He robbed a bank in his diapers and little bare baby feet
    All he said was "Folks my name is Outlaw Pete"

    I don't understand east coast people who have at least a day's notice that a hurricane is coming and they don't pack up the car and go for a 2 day visit/vacation to the next state over. :dunno:

    Sly is being cute. But perhaps curious, maybe Bones is too.
    Sorry guys but it is a bit complex. I need to show you and explain where we can blow the chart up a bit and examine the heat exchangers workings and the data on the flows that are involved.
    Not political. Oceanography, Geography, CFA, history, perhaps geology, and Climatology
