Yes, I read about the Nor'easter that has ravaged the New England coast and all the way down to Washington, D. C. Denmark's Radio placed Boston on the West Coast - you need to know your geography. The article I read mentioned seven killed due to the weather and two mio without power.
Do you have a generator for the most necessary purposes?

Good luck with getting your power back if you lost that as well and regaining access to the Internet. To be cut off leads to horrible drawbacks in my home. As for the crunching you're bunkering as the EVGA-boys call it, and you'll create a spike tomorrow, hopefully.

We are running five races right now, and five more are on the doorstep, and we are doing very well. sujo1 has the results in the SeriousCrunchers team thread here .

Siberia is retreating from Denmark.

90G for solar power hardware. It’s US$90,000, right? You can buy a TLC house for that kind of money, cann’t you?
Is it you new 24 core that has been idle, acpartsman?
Good Afternoon Base Campers!
Finally I got around to see ’Darkest Hour’.

He mobilized the English language and sent it into battle, Viscount Halifax said after Winston Churchill delivered his first and fierce speech in the House of Commons and wan everybody and Neville Chamberlain over.
And he did.
He simply had the gold medal in linguistic intelligence – and it was supplemented by several other well developed intelligences not to forget an independent mind and the courage to be his unashamed self at all times and situations.
The world needs more Churchills of integrity.

I received an answer from my former Team Cahuamos captain. He’s positive toward a Base Camp visit, so I hav reinstalled Mexico on our list.

The weather was splendid The sunlight was reinforced by the whiteness of the snow; I could almost hear the pineal gland suck it up.
Finally a distinct benchmark to navigate from, it said. It turns out there is a difference between night and day after all!

I hope the power works again at your mother’s house, and that all of your machines are back on track again, acpartsman. It must feel like being the parent of a very large number of children with smallpox.
Good Afternoon Base Campers!

Good to hear you heard from Team Cahuamos.

Yes, I'm pleased to have 50% of my confidence in the 'e-mail-your-captain' system restored
Very nice to see that Gary Oldman was awarded an Oscar for his Winston Churchill role
– and that color is the new black

So you still have a bit of residue from the storm to repair, acpartsman. Is it all the above-ground power lines that make the power grid this vulnerable in the USA? After a fierce windstorm back in the 1990s Denmark buried the major part of her power cables. Denmark is easy. We don’t have rocks except for one small island. Otherwise the soil easy to dig into.
Good Afternoon Base Campers!

R.I.P. Davide Astori, captain of Fiorentina, the Firenze soccer team
- died at age 31 from a blood clot in his heart.

I decided I need to know what that my heart does when I do the rehab exercises, when I do the program I have done at home for years, and when I walk, and I need to know where they put in the limitation on the accelerator that speeds up my heart, so I got myself a heart rate monitor today.
Inexpensive and pretty. The strap is white. It’s French. We don’t have all that many French consumer products in Denmark. I think we ought to have more.
I cannot understand how they can make and sell it at that price.



Not only is the watch itself a nice entity, it also comes in an unusual black box with a lime green zipper. In the box is a USB charger cable and manuals. A small 65-page one, and a thick one of 349 pages, both only 2½ x 2½ inch. The thick one feels and looks more sturdy than ’real’ books of that thickness.

It looks simple, and I managed to charge it, but I need to find out how to operate it. That’s the drawback. I yearn for simple things. I would like to strap the thing onto my wrist after I charged it, press one of the two buttons (good thing with just two buttons) and see it count my heartbeat.
But no.
No way around finding the Danish section in those 349 pages with instructions in 11 languages.
Bummer!

Above ground power grid can be a problem but the trouble comes from their complete lack of keeping trees cut back from the lines. Any tree capable of reaching the lines should be cut back or cut down. But they only keep them cut back to the point that they can't flash over when wet. Prime example is a large oak tree within sight of my house that's been dead for at least 15 years. When it falls it will take out the lines completely and most likely at least on pole. It has no choice but to fall in that direction. Common sense would dictate taking it down now, but NO, they have no common sense, they'd rather wait till it falls and have to take care of all the damage which will result it costing 10x as much.
