It's amazing how many days we've been without power this year. Fortunately we haven't had any storm-related deaths in the area, but I think we're at 9 days without power so far this year. At this point, more than half the year-rounders (the minority in this area) have generators. Ian even had a spare generator mounted to a trailer so it can be driven to wherever it is needed! We have finally also got the entire factory on a backup generator, no mean accomplishment given the amount of power manufacturing sucks up!

I just rented and watched it tonight. I'm not sure why you found it depressing though.

Yeah, with M80s hanging on the wall and Bryston amps everywhere I'm sure you could cut the power consumption in half by turning off the factory SOUND SYSTEM when the power goes out

More snow tonight, first time it stayed on the ground in any quantity. Roads are icy. Snow seems to have come in at a 45 degree angle and gotten my firewood all wet.
How many posts do I need to go from "connoisseur" to "curmudgeon" ?

I don't really know, but I'm certain I've passed that point.

I just think it's funny that Jack answered that question as if it were directly asked of him!

It's so much nicer to have snow on the ground and in the trees than to look at 'normal' November. All our favourite restaurants close in November and it's too miserable to venture outside. And people are driving around with dead moose and deer in their trucks. What a month!
On the other hand, it's good Monopoly, theme party, movie-watching, fondue and French Onion Soup weather, so that's in its favour!

OOOOOOOO!  French Onion Soup! Fondue (I hope there is chocolate fondue with fresh strawberries, or sponge cake, or almost anything, for dessert)! And, movie watching! I think I've died and gone to heaven.

If you're a chocolate fondue fan, you should get my recipe for Toblerone fondue. It really takes it from yummy to downright decadent . . .
IMO, half a cup of port makes the difference between good French Onion Soup and gotta-have-it-again French Onion Soup!
