We were blessed not to lose power on Thursday. Ours just flickered in CT, while some areas of the state did lose power for about 3 hours. I felt very fortunate while watching New Yorkers (on t.v.) all out in the streets trying to get home. At least, if we did lose power, I could bring Nexus down cellar where it is cooler. I thought about people that live in apartment buildings that have ferrets. I hope no ferrets suffered because of the heat. We have been asked not to use washers/dryers, dishwashers, and pool filters until after 8 p.m. to help conserve energy. We hope for those that lost power that it has been restored. We really take things for granted when we have them. -- Moxie and Nexus, missing Chance [Posted in FML issue 4241]
