Power outages

I hope everyone is prepared to be without power for days. Sandy is coming and the power companies aren't known for restoring power very quickly.
Below is a quote I found on a web site of a local tv station:
"Power outages are expected to be widespread and could potentially last for several days in some locations. Utility companies National Grid and NStar say they have already submitted plans to the governor detailing their expected response efforts to those outages."

Be prepared!

I think its funny that a hurricane could not knock my power out but the snow storm we had last year around Halloween could!

My family and i just checked on our generator that we bought because of Irene, and it turns out it didn't event have the efficiency that we expected it to have, lifting that heavy thing is so fun task =[. Remember to ask the right questions when buying a generator like " how do you use it" and about how many appliances can you run through its basic power strip .

I lost power for this storm on Tuesday morning!!!!! After the storm!! It's so difficult when I lose electricity, because our water is shut off, too. So frustrating...Jealous of the people who never lose power.

Tony, you're so right! I never lose power during big storms, but I lose it on sunny days. So odd!

Red Sox time is here!

Everyone has reported to Spring training and the first pre-season game is Wednesday at 7:05. I am very excited, but I will have to skip this game because our boys basketball team has its playoff game at the same time and they are more important to me than the Redsox.

One School One Book

I have been reading the book "The Day the World Came to Town" and something is on my mind that I have to share with everyone. Can you believe how incredibly generous and trusting the people in Gander are? I would like to think that I would be the same, but I am not sure. I know that I would definately bring supplies to where ever the people were being placed, but I am not sure that I would open my house up to strangers. I couldn't get over how people were invited into the homes to take showers and the home owners would leave the house and tell them to make themselves at home. I would like to think that I could be that way, but I am not sure I would. What about you? Could you be that trusting of stangers?

What are you reading?

Have you read any good books lately? I am trying to find a great book for the incoming freshmen to read over the summer. The current freshmen class read "The Number Devil", but they didn't like that choice so I am trying to find something more enjoyable for the students. Right now I am reading "October Sky" by Homer Hickham. I am only 60 pages into the book, but I am enjoying the little that I have read. I would like to hear about any books that you have read and would recommend.
