You kinda get used to having it around so, when it is not there, it is a bit of a culture shock. Try living without it for 10+ days. We know what some of those people back east are experiencing right now with the flooding and storm damage. It definitely makes you appreciate it when it comes back. And you are dead on about the quiet. When our power was out, the first thing I noticed was the lack of electrical noise (air conditioners, motors, etc.). agg79https://www.blogger.com/profile/08925069219602681862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-41462092526240682912012-10-30T19:20:07.358-06:002012-10-30T19:20:07.358-06:00Like you we are having nice weather while the othe...Like you we are having nice weather while the other coast is being pummeled, my family is in SC so they missed the actual hurricane but not the cold weather that pounced upon them, but I am thankful they missed the bad stuff.<br /><br />Out of the mouths of babes they say, yes it sucks they are missing Halloween among other things.<br /><br />You have to love kids.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11676883070882757501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-50995485953655720442012-10-30T16:02:54.877-06:002012-10-30T16:02:54.877-06:00The weather's been pretty nice here too.
