My wifes van wasn't so lucky but I hate that thing anyway. Hope everyone is doing OK.

George. Glad to hear you and the Mrs. are safe. Sorry to hear about the van but at least the Marauder is safe, right?

Is most of G-town still in the dark? It's spotty in Louisville. All the ice is melting off the trees and wires so hopefully that'll speed up the process for repair, making it easier for the crews to work.

My God ... it has been a week and some 800,000 homes in Kentucky still have no power. The entire electrical grid in the state has been crippled. The entire Kentucky National Guard has been mobilized to checks on people in their houses as they try to tough out the cold and ice in their homes.

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the afflicted area.
