Camp fire in the living room

[mbulriss]

Hey Ralph,

If it makes you feel any better, here in the Hill Country of Texas we
haven't had power at our home since about 6am Tuesday morning - maybe
today will be the day it returns! We have been iced in solid. Our
little local town of Boerne became a parking lot for 18-wheelers as
IH10 was closed. Just got back in to work at about 10am today
(Thursday) for the first time since Monday night, after a neighbor
helped move a downed tree in the driveway. Thanks to a wonderful
neighborhood gestapo, er, ah, I mean homeowner's association, our Bird
is about 5 miles away, safely tucked away in a shop with power, but we
couldn't get there! On the positive side, the house never got below
53 or so inside! This is exactly why we don't live up north any
longer, so it is definitely not a welcome event! ;^) Oh well, spring
will be here soon.....
