BTW, the denizens should be aware that this weekend, Steph3n did me an enormous favor by cleaning out a Trojan and various other exploits from my laptop. He told me that none of the utilities sold to do this sort of thing worked as well as his just going in and cleaning everything out manually. In about two hours on Saturday afternoon, he killed them all. ^

Thanks again Steph3n.

Friday was already a holiday for our schools, so now they will have Weds, Thurs as snow days, Friday as a holiday, Monday as a holiday and Tuesday as a holiday :rolleyes::rolleyes:




It's still snowing here too. Not as "blizzardy" as earlier, but still coming down quite quickly. I think we have about 18". the snow plows have been up and down Rte 27 four or five times in the last 3 hours and the roads are still totally covered. There is very little traffic, and what does go by is going quite slowly.

Thanks for the encouragement, it was nice getting to know you more than just in passing at a DO. I know we have good ideas, and I know they will succeed, but it is a long time coming :)
