I haven't been here because of many reasons and although we were lucky with the freak October snowstorm that we only had the high winds and rain and lost power for 20 hours my heart goes out to my old hometown and surrounding areas in CT which are still without power or have just had it restored and so many trees came down due to the weight of the leaves which freakishly have hung on so late this year and they had live wires all over the place and to hear terms like "war zone" and to see the photos and postings of friends has been very sad and while I know someone who has been out there on the poles helping to restore power to homes he has had to endure being yelled at and sworn at by people because the workers are doing the best they can but they are caught inside of a scandal/"situation" happening with the power company over nonpayment of services to out-of state utility companies so crews went to other parts of the state to make matters worse and I hope everyone has their power back soon because people should not be dying when firetrucks cannot make it to the scene of a fire:(((( and other people have died because of carbon dioxide poisoning while my sister-in-law from CT was here for 4 days we kept checking on the updates to see what was going on at home who would ever imagine such an awful situation would take place or that kids would have their Halloween canceled just like the Grinch stealing Christmas and school has been out of session going on 6 days and if someone told you all that would happen in late October you would tell them to get their head examined so anything I have going on is the "small stuff" annoyances right now have a nice day:)
