The weather

I was in St. Thomas when hurricane Hugo hit but I don't remember anything about when power was restored. I only remember the military coming around with food plates and having to use water out of barrels that my grandmother had stocked up on before the storm hit. Using it to flush the toilet, shower with and boil to drink.

To make a cost comparison with a conventional power supplier, I wonder if you have any figures for typical monthly bills? Say a family of four, with an airconditioner and two light sabres; how much should they expect to pay if they decide to get their power from the Dark Side?

Where's St.Thomas, dj? Yes, anything that requires pumping - water or petrol - is going to be a problem. Also charging up cellphones, etc.

Well done your grandmother, btw !

It is directly east of PR. One of the US Virgin Islands. It is like a short 20 mins plane ride to PR from St. Thomas

Nobody pays for their power when they join the Dark Side: it's taken from the weak and given to the strong. We also have very good loyalty bonus points.

In Heaven, I would assume.

Into the minuses here and a couple inches of snow on the ground, was happy until I realised there's a chance today's game could be called off.

They're calling for a couple inches here too. No doubt Baltimore is in a panic at the grocery stores as I speak. It's really cloudy but no snow as of yet.

i still haven't seen any snow yet. i know we're still gonna get hit with that typical late east-coast canada winter bs but i'm enjoying it while i can. i don't mind the cold at all until that **** starts falling and then i'm out.
