Not that any of you care that your resident jackass (or at least one of them ) might be going away for a while, but it started to snow down here (Raleigh, North Carolina) and since the power company can't figure out how to keep the power on the rest of the time and also due to the fact that people around here have no idea how to drive at all, much less in the snow, I'm likely to be offline for a while when my power goes out due to the weight of 5 pounds of ice on a power line or some idiot in a Canyonero slamming into a telephone pole. [sigh]
