BINGO! I went out for walks during both of my breaks today ... perhaps not the smartest thing to do, but it really didn't bother me that much.

As I've shared previously in different threads, I was startled awake on the morning of July 26. My alarm went off as usual at 6am, but 2 minutes later ... BOOOOOOMMMMMM ... SNAP/CRACKLE ... HISSSSSSS. Then, dead silence. I sat bolt upright in bed ... realizing everything electric (or so I thought) was off. I scampered out of my room headed up the steps, instinctively turning on the stairway light .... and, wowa, ... light. So, I turned back into my room ... and flipped some of the circuit breakers and the entire house had power again. Next door neighbor heard it, too. We believe it was a lightning strike. My VCR is no more [replaced with one an Uncle gave me], my stereo receiver is toast [replaced by a new one I have since purchased], and a heated blanket and a heated mattress cover will need to be replaced before winter sets in. Ironically, the stereo receiver and VCR were plugged into 2 different surge protectors, both of which "saved" other electronics (including a TV). I have since purchased a few new surge protectors as well. My computer, which was on at the time, is fine ... no damage done. My alarm clock AM/FM radio, which, obviously, was also on ... and NOT plugged into a surge protector ... is also fine. Go figure. So ... what kind of "rude awakenings" have you had?

On a radio show last week, a discussion ensued about redundancies in the English language, particularly how they are used every day ... and can be, to some, annoying. A few that have never made sense to me why people use/say them include: "PIN Number" ... as in Personal Identification Number Number "ATM Machine" ... as in Automatic Teller Machine Machine "Hot water heater" ... so, you heat hot water? What are some you notice? Cort:33swm."Mr Monte Carlo.Mr Road Trip".pig valve.pacemaker WRMNshowcase.lego.HO.model.MCs.RT.CHD = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort "Only you can do what must be done" ...

Ahhhh...I'm going to miss this event ENTIRELY this year. It doesn't look like I'll be going to PA next weekend for the family reunion, so I'll be missing out on my annual stop in Michigan as well . Hopefully I'll be there next year again ... it really is a cool cruise ... and I've enjoyed meeting people there .

Hmmm...sadly, not many, if any at all, really. Let's see... GMC ... perhaps the Canyon ... otherwise, nada. Chevrolet ... perhaps the Colorado ... otherwise, nada. Buick ... Even though it's FWD, I kinda like the looks of the Lucerne. Pontiac ... GTO and upcoming G8 for sure ... along with the current Solstice Cadillac ... STS, XLR Saturn ... Aura (wouldn't buy it though, FWD) ... SKY.

Timing is indeed everything. We also know that a few people we know were headed to the Twins game. We haven't heard if they've been located or not. We are going on the premise that no news is good news. Interesting stuff you've posted, too, reg. Thanks for sharing the article, etc. I admit I laughed a bit at this line in the article: "Many people said they felt as if they were cast in a surreal earthquake film." I know it isn't a laughing matter at all, but that line just caught my funny bone for some reason....

*nods* Same thing here.... Heh ... if I "blame" the internet and groups and message boards for anything ... it is for feeling "instantly connected" to just about any major incident such as this ... and wondering if people you know both personally and from online groups/boards are OK.... I first heard about the collapse on Chicago's WGN radio ... during a break in the baseball game [incidentally, Cubs won ... and are tied for 1st place with the Brewers]. I flipped the radio over to Chicago's WBBM radio ... and they were simulcasting from MN's WCCO radio. I immediately thought of our family there ... one of Dad's brothers and most of his family (including 8 kids and a bunch of grandchildren) are in the area. Luckily, nobody was in the wreckage, though one of them had driven over that section of I-35W just 20 minutes before the collapse. I then thought of a number of people I know from various message boards who live in the MN area. Hope all of them are doing well.... Thoughts/prayers coming to all those affected by this.

Oh sweet! We have family in that city. If I had some vacation time coming my way, I'd hop in a car and head out there for the weekend, but alas, I don't. It's great that you'll be able to meet a number of people Fly ... I always love doing exactly that on my road trips .
