What? You've got over 24 hours to prepare. Where's the problem? Get lots of Kraft Dinner (I believe you people call it Kraft Mac & Cheese), chips and beer. Oh yeah, and coffee, make sure you have coffee. Make sure you have a way to stay warm if the power goes out (firewood, portable heaters and generators to power them, etc.). It'll all be good. Just don't be a hero and try driving in it. Batten down the hatches and stay warm and safe. cheers, frank ps: just joking with those first couple of sentences. -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
