DC? Oh, gimme a break, Mike. :-) While 200,000 customers were without
power in VA/NC post-Isabel, news reports (solar radio; battery TV)
were saying "6,000 customers in the DC metro area *still* have no
electricity." This was day 3 or 4. And here I was thinking you lived
in a cabin in North Dakota, 75 miles from the nearest town and with 12
dependent children! Believe me, you're not going to starve. :-)
