Hello from Derry
We still are down on our knees. No nothing here. Phone, power, cable. Cell works but I have to drive an hour to charge it. Good excues to go to the Gloucester session last night & will probably go to an irish session in Wakefield, Mass. tonight. The National guard gave me a couple cases of water, I'll be pissing proper for the next month. Lin & Tom you weren't at the session Friday, are you OK?
We had a wood chipper come down our road to clear some of the debris in the street but when they came to the downed power lines & trees they headed for the tropics. Haven't seen any work being down in my neck of the woods to clear the streets, no power company to be heard from, no nobody & some are saying that it's still a guess as to when we'll be "turned on". I've been sleeping downstairs next to the propane stove, that keeps the living room & dining room warm enough, tha kitchen is cold but not freezing. Had to barb the thawing shrimp, tonight I'll get to bb'ing the thawed meat after I go to the gym for a swim & a shave. I'll be back but I don't know when. Good luck to you others that are frost frozen.

Barry
