Dick,
I replied earlier but your e-mail gateway bounced my message back.
I was just wondering how to assess standard of living in New England, vs. Canada. My home e-mail is lori.pat_at_ns.sympatico.ca <mailto:lori.pat_at_ns.sympatico.ca>
Anyway it doesn't sound like you lost any data during the storm, that's good. Hopefully all your servers came back up...

Patrice,
Yeah, it's also amazing how your perspective changes when you've
got 32
inches of the white stuff in your driveway & all of the database
servers at work
crashed because the power failed! At times like that one needs a
little comic
relief!

I hate Monday, especially when it comes twice in one week!

I heard this on Radio Canada, in French re. a person from France who
moved
to Québec.
Interesting how things go around on the 'net.

Since a bunch of us in the Northeast had a real review of
our
recovery plans
yesterday, like we actually had to follow them, I thought
that the
following
might provide a little comic relief for the remainder of the
week.

BTW: I live in New Hampshire!

Ah... life in NH
Dear Diary: Aug. 1
Moved to our new home in New Hampshire. It is so beautiful
here. The
country is so picturesque. Can hardly wait to see it covered
with
snow.
I LOVE IT HERE.
OCT. 14
New Hampshire is the most beautiful place on earth. The
leaves are
turning
all different colors. I love the shades of red and orange.
Went for
a
ride through the hills and saw some deer. They are so
graceful.
Certainly they
are the most peaceful animals on earth. This must be
paradise. I
LOVE IT HERE.
NOV. 11
Dear season will open soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting
to kill
such
an elegant creature. The very symbol of peace and
tranquillity. Hope
it will
snow soon. I LOVE IT HERE.
DEC. 2
It snowed last night. Woke up to find everything blanketed
in white.
It
looked like a postcard. Went outside and cleaned snow off
the steps
and
shoveled the driveway. We had a snowball fight today (I
won). When
the
snowplow came by we had to shovel the driveway again. What a
beautiful
place. Mother Nature in perfect harmony. I LOVE IT HERE.
DEC. 12
More snow last night. I love it. The snowplow did his trick
again
that
rascal. A winter wonderland. I LOVE IT HERE.
DEC. 19
Snowed again last night. Couldn't get out of the driveway to
get to
work
on time. I'm exhausted from shoveling. F_at_cking snowplow!
DEC. 22
More of that white %$#^ fell last night. I've got blisters
on my
hands
from shoveling. I think the snowplow hides around the corner
and
waits
until I'm done shoveling. That buthole!
DEC. 25
"White Christmas" my busted *&^. Mother F_at_cking snow. If I
ever get
my
hands on that son-of-a-bitch who drives that snowplow. I
swear I
will
castrate the dumb b_at_st@rd. Don't know why they don't use
more salt
on
this f_at_cking ice.
DEC. 28
More of the same ^%$# last night. Been inside since
Christmas Day
except for when "Snowplow Harry" comes by. Can't go
anywhere. The
car is
buried in a mountain of white. The weatherman says expect
another
10 inches tonight. Do you know how many shovels full of snow
10 inches is?
Jan. 1
Happy F_at_cking New Year. The weatherman was wrong (again). We
got
34 inches of snow this time. At this rate it won't melt
until the
4th of July.
The snowplow got stuck down the road and sh^% for brains had
the
balls to come
to the door and ask to borrow my shovel. I told him I broke
6
shovels already,
shoveling out what he plowed into my driveway. I broke the
7th
shovel over his
head.
Jan. 4
Finally got out of the house today. Went to the store to get
food
and on
the way back a deer ran out in front of the car and I hit
it. Did
about
$3,000.00 damage to the car. Wish the hunters had killed
them all
last November.
May 3
Took the car to the garage in town today. Would you believe
the body
is
rotting away from all the salt they keep dumping all over
the roads.
It really
looks like a piece of sh&^.
May 10
Moved to Florida today. I can't imagine why anyone in their
right
mind would
want to live in the God forsaken State of New Hampshire.
