[AMC-List] offline almost a week!

["Jim Blair" <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's been rough since last thursday w/o power, heat and lights (I actually 
cured all that by friday noon with a trip to my cabin for emergency supplies 
as the rest were trapped in my stoarge w/o any access due to no power) but 
the worst has been lack of phone (even the cells were down) and internet 
along with no cable! (and I couldn't access the garage to work on my Jeeps 
due to downed powerlines and trees!)
  I have to pay another month's storage on my old place because I didn't 
have time to access it to clean it out on my days off (I was working on one 
rig I was going to haul to scrap when the lights went out and the wind 
whipped up) I left the garage in a hurry before the power went totally dead 
(I forgot my generator and 12vdc electric blanket but remembered my AC/DC 
inverter which ran TV and lights till power came back on) I also remembered 
my LPG tank but still can't find my chainsaw. (I think one of my sons nicked 
it back in summertime)
  I was able to help some friends who were stuck with no heat and lights 
too. (they are still out) Every gas can in our area along with generators 
and any source of heat/light disappeared faster than David Copperfield! I 
sdaw at least 1 gun drawn at a gas station when people were fist fighting 
(by someone trying to stop the fight fortunately) Seems the thin veneer of 
civility was stripped away this week by some people you would least suspect.
  I need to send this quick as I only have a bootlegged net access at the 
moment.
