Guys I really hope our power doesn't go out...Our power went out in 2002 from an ice storm like this, and it took a month for us to get our power back on. Meanwhile, old people in the area died, because they froze to death. Sometimes I hate being in N.C.

I know my sister has to have oxygen. She has stage four cancer. I'm hoping our power doesn't go out.

Well............. it's January. In New York. Is this really that
unusual of an event? I mean... yeah. Winter. OK.

Yeah, we were talking about the "emergency" in the USA, not in
Kazakhstan, which is basically southern Siberia. I suspect that is near normal temperatures there in Kazakhstan this time of year.

Those Lat and Lon figures give you Kazakhstan? That's wrong.

Okay, did it again and this time get midway-ish between Toronto and
Ottawa. I grew up not far from there, actually (in the USA).

My same statements that are now snipped out still apply. Cold, but not unheard of. Carry on.




... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.

I looked at my car's nav system and realized that it gave me lat/long
coordinates. I can finally update the icbmto: url in my email
signature.
