Test your UPS units, generators and battery operated air pumps. It's gonna be a long week.

Well it was not nite, the water was cool, I didn't think it was that bad like during the day time; beside there was nothing that I could do.

if the power was out a little longer I would start move things around.

Power went down at my job. Thought I could go home early, just as everyone was about to leave at 2pm, the power came back on. Doh! These fires are smoking up the whole area.
