How many millions more would have lost power were it not for global warming? *****rollingeyes*****

Our power went out on Thursday night at 5pm and came back last night at 11pm. Just in time. Thank God for the wood stove.  happy77
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

Indeed.  Wood stoves are wonderful!  If we were to ever live up north again, I wouldn't be without one.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Romans 12:16-18
