    Granddaughter's university starts back with classes today, but she is still without power at her condo. Odd - since it is only a little over a mile from campus. The lighthouse where her boyfriend lives got power back 2 days ago, so they have moved from one of his relative's houses, back to his place. Thankfully, she listened to her Dad's advice when he told her to take a lot along when she had to evacuate, so she's had clothes enough to get by on, plus all of her school books, laptop, etc. I do imagine this little "adventure" is starting to get pretty darn old tho, since it will be 2 weeks this Friday since she has been displaced.

    And today the Nor'easter is marching up the coast. Hope it's not too bad for those already affected by Sandy. They are calling for wet snow here from this storm, later today.....

    The clock of life is wound but once and no man has the power
    To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
    Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
    Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

    I got stuck at work. An half hour drive took me an hour. I almost got into a huge accident going 25m MPH and I come home to find no power. I'm beyond upset, annoyed, disgusted and snappy. Not to mention, I found out my coworkers house got washed away in the hurricane. All in all this day has not been one of the best

    Awww, I felt sorry for all the people we saw stuck in traffic this afternoon - seems like a lot of companies let folks go early - so everyone had to sit in so much traffic, they probably got home later, and more stressed, than if they had stayed to their usual time!

    No, Karen It wasn't because of traffic. It was because of the snow.
