No power for the last 2 and a half days.

This area on the south shore of MAÂ* got hit hard with "Riley".Â* Every
where you drive there are trees down on lines, cars, houses,Â* power
poles snapped in half, transformers scattered.Â* Major damage in
some areas.

Just got power back an hour ago.Â* Survived with my little generator
and
a space heater in the bedroom.Â* Didn't bother tying it into the
furnace
this time.Â* House was down to 38 degrees but bedroom was nice and
toasty.

I think I am beginning to believe the climate change people are right.
Seems like the nor'easters we get now are stronger and more powerful
than I remember from past years.

Anyway, it's finally over.Â* Gotta get ready for the next one late next
week.Â* Hopefully it won't be as bad.



Youse guys need a road trip.

Nessie found a new home.



Jokester on Facebook.Â* There's one of those huge, emergency alert poles
with multiple sirens and speakers to warn of issues with the nuke plant
in Plymouth or other dangers located about 2 miles from us ... or it
was.Â* It also came down in the storm and made a huge mess all over the
road.Â* Some gusts were recorded at over 100 mph which isn't unusual in
hurricane prone areas but for areas that are rarely hit with winds that
strong they can do a lot of damage.Â* Nature's way of clearing of old
growth and structures I guess.

Our former house in Duxbury lost a bunch of of roof shingles.Â* Feel bad
for the owner but glad I don't have to pay to repair or re shingle.:

I don't know if it's true but I heard insurance companies in Florida
won't insure a house with a roof over 15 years old.
