we discovered that Budget Truck Rental had a 50% off sale for trucks going
from the south to the northeast. Obviously there had been more trucks going
south over the summer than north!

I suspect there will be another exodus south this summer, so book your rental truck
well in advance!

and you and the rest of the Northeast have my utmost sympathy.

You take an impressive picture!

Thanks for sharing! I'm amazed that you still have power (or a roof).

To a certain extent I'd enjoy this weather, having spent part of my youth in Wisconsin. I'd love the cozy feeling of a full stomach, a roaring fire, a stack of good books, a full smoking pipe, and a glass of Cognac. But if I couldn't afford heat or food, forget it.
