Holy cow. We caught the tail end of the wind storm that ravaged through
the US. I have never seen such powerful sustained winds. They did a lot
of damage. I lost power at 8 am and it finally came back on at 10:30 pm.
There was a tree down a few doors down that took out electrical and
telephone lines. Luckily, one of my neighbours offered to come over with
his generator to run my sump pump for a while, and my fridge. The lower
part of my cellar had a few inches of water in it.

No electricity means no water. The positive side of the high water table
is that my well was filled to within 3 feet of the top so it was easy to
get pails full of water to flush the toilet and to wash.

After spending much of the last two weeks working on hiking trails in
the weeds behind our house I have a bunch more work cut out for me.
There are several trees down across the trails.

The winds have been similarly high here in Texas, I had to help an
elderly neighbor replace some shingles that were ripped off his roof
last week. My roofs have held up ok so far, but I've had to pick up a
lot of tree branches around the yard.

Congratulations. It was a long ride, but you are now officially in
the top 5 of most useless posters in the group. Out of your last 20
posts only one was about food (short and mundane steaming oats).
Ironically, 2 of them were about filters for stupid people. And the
kicker is that one was about stupid people "announcing their filters"
which you did in the post immediately before that. And have done that
many times in the past.

Filters are not for people that simply annoy or offend you.
Specifically, they're more useful when applied to people with a SNR in
excess of 1:10. And your self-absorbed ass has achieved that ratio,
and more.

I'm sorry to read of your troubles. I'm also glad it wasn't the
tornadoes that came with most of the storms. I can't believe the number
of dead from this bunch of storms. They ran through my area, but thank
God, no damage here. Quite a few tornadoes dropped down, though, and
fairly close by.

LOL Good call Cheryl. Check out the message source. Both are from the
same organization. The poor dumb ******* already got caught replying to
me after claiming to have killfiled me for having dared to call him on
his idiotic claims about tattoos and racism. Now he has been caught
replying under another username. Good call.

The poor dumb ******* is upset because too many of my OT posts mentioned
what a poor dumb ******* he is.
