Dish Network

Depends on what your view of the sky is, and which bird you have to point at.

And how well the idiot tech that pointed the dish did the job.

Directv is working fine here, no blocking up. Sounds like the Dish is misaligned. It should be pointing at the satellite not the thunder storm ;)

Interesting leap to this conclusion. I have had dish network for 12+ years, for both domestic and European and HD channels (different dishes) and can only remember one time during one of our famous PA blizzards that the picture at times became pixelated. Then again, I was on the roof with the tech watching and double checking his alignment procedure. Throughout the lifetime of my dish service, at the worst of times, I had a 70% signal and still had good pictures. I'd suggest something is wrong with the installation/alignment.

I have no idea what that is?? ...Jim Thompson

I disagree. If you're doing plumbing repairs and water keeps dripping down the copper pipe while you are soldering and ruining your joint, a plug made from Wonder Bread (tm) literally works wonders, and it generally dissolves in the water when you're done.

For actual human consumption, artisan breads from Ace Bakery are not bad:-

Also Sumano's make excellent bread:

Jim, there is a hurricane coming our way, don't you think you should pack your bags and head for the hills?

Last report states that N.Y., as well as CT, is in its path..

He's on LI, too. Be afraid! Be very afraid!

Yes, quite possibly. ;-)

I rode out Hurricane Donna, in Boston, in the third floor of a house that swayed when the wind blew. When was that, 1960, 1961??

I rode out one hurricane in a one bedroom cottage. I was awake for three days, listening to huge trees moaning and cracking, over the hard rain and high winds. Then the ground would shake when a tree snapped and hit the ground.

When it finally passed, I went outside to see that about 90% of the trees behind and beside the cottage were down. You couldn't see anything except trees to the west before the hurricane. After, it was more open sky than trees

At least you didn't need to leave a wakeup call! ;-)

I think the water temp is too cold to sustain a Cat2 storm up here.

There is a lot of

I'm in the Central Florida area, where hurricanes have no trouble sustaining high winds, and dumping up plenty of water.

I guess that's ok, if you drink. I never cared for any alcohol, including the 91% isopropyl I have to use for my twice daily insulin injections.

Where's the Stew Leonard's nearby? I've been driving all the way to the one adjacent to Republic airport ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Yup, that?s the one. The shopping carts freaked me out at first. But go there during December, then you'll understand.

Is it safe here or should I flee inland ?:-( ...Jim Thompson
