Well Pooh

Dammit, another Halloween Storm is getting ready to strike New England!  The one last year wasn't actually a hurricane, just a very early, very nasty and very heavy snowstorm that hit with all the leaves still on the trees, and knocked our power out for almost a week.  Some people didn't get their power back for TWO weeks.  But the Power Company says that Not This Time!  Even though they haven't ratified the Line Worker's contracts, and there are actually fewer linemen than there were last year.  Hello Ohio!  Did you guys ever get paid for the last time?

So...I'm feeling just a tad grumpy.  It was ok for a few days, but after three or four, it was getting seriously old.  And cold.  And dark.  And just a little smelly.  Gosh, we are such wusses.  So I've been making sure that I have plenty of candles and firewood, and putting the patio furniture away and NOT buying milk, because if the power goes, it will just go bad.  And looking for the Scrabble board and the playing cards. 

Interestingly, is there any natural storms of this kind in the Comic book world?  It always seems as though it is always the fault of Storm or the Weather Wizard or something.
