Other than cloudy skies, we haven't seen much evidence of Hurricane Sandy yet, but there have been lines at the gas stations, stores selling out of batteries and bottled water, and other indications of people getting ready to hunker down. We are taking our own precautions by pulling out of Stamford two days earlier than we had originally planned ... not an easy decision, but the prospect of driving through bad weather the whole way back to Minnesota is not a particularly pleasant thought ... Wish we could take "the kids" with us! I don't like being cheated out of time with them by the weather.
When we got back to our hotel last night, after a raucous game of Cribbage, we found the parking lot full of service trucks for the electric company.
This morning, the guys were all standing around in the parking lot in their hard hats and orange jackets, until some magic signal was given and they all jumped in their trucks and drove off to save the world.
