The scissors company is FISKARS. I also use a machete of theirs bought at Home Depot that I like very much. Fiskars Machete

It'll buff out.

I wonder if they'd let me salvage some of those solar arrays, over seven days without power so far.

ugh! seven days! I've done a couple of four day outages over the years, never seven. Do you have a generator?

I don't think a car that would short and catch fire when wet would be very popular in Houston.

well someone has to say it Bad karma
bad name for a car anyway.

I see the Goetthals Bridge is still standing.
I wonder about the damage to the refineries and oil tank farms. NJ may have dodged a big bullit.

Seven is a new record for us, last year at this time we were out for five. Yes we have a generator. Saturday I hooked the furnace up to it so we could get some heat. Tonight's forecast is for a low of 27deg F. Due to the gas shortage I've been running the generator for only 2 hours in the morning and 4 hours at night. On the plus side utility crews from Texas arrived in our town last night, so hopefully the power will be back soon.

Refineries are OK except they lack power. I believe that Linden came on line late yesterday.
That is part of the gas problem. The tankers must go to south NJ for fuel.
Tank farms are also OK from what I have heard from the utility company, PSEG.

Those cars are part of only 2,000 made. Now minus about 100.

Ditto on the Fiskars Machete...

I used mine yesterday for several hours.
Tends to hold an edge, once you get a good edge started.

I have a couple. They are nice light weight knife with a great hand grip.
