orange oil for ants. I am all about eco-friendly soloutions

Thanks! I am sorry guffalo about your situation. Still no power by me. I like it! Bonfire and ghost stories last night, ice cold beers, trail mix, French drip coffee- this is fun!

The surge was more severe west of new haven but some houses and restaraunts did get taken out. We had high winds (85 mph), little rain. My town and surrounding towns power is out. Poor New Jersey. They got the brunt. Amazing storm. Lowest ever barometric reading. An average hurricane is 300 miles wide- sandy was 1000. Nyc will be interesting. As will the election. Interesting times we live in

what mickey mouse sight are you getting 3-4 foot surge? http://www.nhc.noaa....esurge#contents NOAA has 13-15 foot surge.

I saw the damage Gloria did to the shoreline and have heard the stories from old timers about the 1938 hurricane. When they talk about the storm surge being worse then 38, that is a big !@#$ing deal. I am not scared for myself- I am a survivalist with months worth of food, and I live 180 feet above sea level, and Jim Cantore has my dream job. I am scared for my friends that live south of post road- they are about to lose everything. One girl I was hanging with earlier tonight lives on the beach. Last year Irene almost leveled her place. Well she had to think what to grab tonight that was irreplacable, because her place is about to get wiped out, and she is mandatorily being evacuated this evening. I just drove along shore an hour after high tide- and it is already flooding. And when they are talking about 10-12 foot surge tomorrow night in the sound- a lot of peoples worlds will be !@#$ed. That is what I am fearful about

Loaded up on chocolate, bourbon,and beer! I am a weather freak that loves storms! I have been through Blizzard 77, Hurricane Irene, Hurricane Gloria, I have seen tornado's, I love it all! But this storm scares the bejesus out of me. Gloria the storm surge was past route 1 and almost to interstate 95, This storm surge is supposed to surpass the 1938 surge(the worst surge for this area on record). Leaves will clog grates, astronomical high tides, and a perfect storm type set up with 90 mph SW winds driving the sound towards NYC. Gloria destroyed south of route 1. And I think NYC will be under water. I hope to God I am wrong

I am becoming fearful of Sandy. Possible 8-12 storm surge in LI sounds and NYC. It is setting up to be the worst case scenario. 80 MPH SW gusts driving water into sound, towards city, and building high. They are talking 15-20 foot waves. If I lived in NYC or by beach, I would most definitely get the hell out asap. Hop a plane or train somewhere, drive, whatever, and go someplace nice and try and have fun. We are !@#$ed Hells Gate is going to be crazy tonight

I live by the Sound in CT and fear for LI. LI is a break wall for CT. Good luck. I wish you all safety

Ants love electricity and are often found in electrical boxes. I wonder if they are in the dash behind the radio or something where they are getting a charge

It looks like Jersey is going to get brunt of storm. NYC east of eye wall. Storm front approaching from West. They are saying possibly worst storm in 100 years. This has makings of the Perfect Storm- and it is supposed to hit on Oct 30, the 23rd anniversary of the Perfect Storm. This system is awesome! http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/eaus/flash-wv.html

This is a decent dehydrator http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0090WOCN0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&keywords=food%20dehydrator&qid=1351257371&sr=8-2 I plan on building a kick ass smoker this winter and doing some BBQ competitions

Well said. This is my problem with sports today. I love to play and watch any sport- but no longer watch TV. The greed has ruined it for me. I used to go to 10-30 games a year- now I listen to the Yanks on the radio

I have seen hundreds of games at Yankee Stadium and the new stadium sucks! My favorite seat would be the $6 dollar general admission bleacher seat that went on sale at 4 the day of the game- and if you were lucky you could catch a double header for that $6. That place was electric! The energy was incredible! The new place kind of looks like the old stadium, it is more sanitized and corporate friendly, but it has no soul. They ruined Yankee Stadium. It is all about money. 2 shots Jagermeister, 2 Heinekens at Hard Rock inside the new park- $48! Greedy mother!@#$ers have ruined one of the all time great stadiums. I want my $6 seat back in a real stadium That article is spot on

Yoga is my favorite type of exercise, nature is my religion, and I particulariy enjoy practicing yoga outdoors. Couple that with mantras, meditation, breathing exercises, in a natural setting on a glorious day- Yoga can be considered a religion. It transcends exercise

I used to love Haffenreffer back in the mid 80's. I was 16 at the time though, my tastes have become more refined

End the fed, no bailouts, do not increase spending, cut defense, first ammendment, legalize weed and gay marriage, uphold the constitution, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!

so what do you think of Gary Johnson's views?

Screw the two party system. Neither party represents me

Count me in. Props Leodis

I love your post's Bill and especially love your gratuitous Dead references.

exactly. TBD posters are quick to throw players under the bus, but seldom give credit

So it is ok for Walmart to sell below costs, but not ok for China to sell us solar energy panels below cost. Hypocrisy has it's own elegant symmetry

So are you saying Walmart negotiates a price, and the producers sometimes sell below their price point ("dumping on the market below cost")? Thank you for making my point

many. For example my friend bought a fishing pole there and some tackle at Walmart and told me what deal he got. I ran the deal by a friend of mine who owns a tackle shop. He checked the numbers for that model, and it was below cost. He said he couldn't even get it at that price

Isn't that what Walmart does?
