A storms a'comin'
There is an eerie feeling here today. It's an overcast day, no rain, not even a slight breeze, just still.
News reports suggest that a huge storm is possible, beginning perhaps late Sunday and building through Monday, maybe Tuesday.
It's not just CNN or news networks trying to build their coverage or clicks that are reporting this. A Bloomberg website headline says "Worst Storm in 100 years headed for Northeast U.S." The meteorologists quoted emphasized that their comments were not alarmist hype and something significant was likely. Go out to sea I say, go out to sea. My trees are trimmed but the one big one, at least fifty feet high, is a concern if this storm is really a big deal. There are many trees of this size here. Flying from Boston to LGA, the Delta shuttle at times goes over this north shore area. The town is not visible, only trees.
We lose power in an unpredictable way. If a lightning bolt hits a location a town away, we could go dark. Sometimes we go through significant storms and we maintain power. It's not possible to predict, except that if we have mega storm we will definitely not have power for several days. The stores are still not in panic mode, so went out and bought canned protein; tuna, Planters many nut combinations, sardines, Fritos(oops, said protein), peanut butter, new bread, beans, collard greens, lima beans(mostly Sylvia's), so all stuff that we will keep and we will eventually eat and if the storm goes out to sea, no regrets. We just stocked up on bottled water yesterday at Costco.
More on this in the next few days.
---And what about these recent reports about vote rigging by voting machine vendors --- going back to Ohio in 2004 --- and the fact that the Romney family private equity firm, seeded by Mitt himself, has a major interest in the firm that supplies all of the voting machines for Ohio, votes that are tabulated at their offices in Tennessee. What about that. More to come on this perhaps as well. See November Harper's magazine for alarming story.
