Here in the semi-tropical paradise of Miami, FL, we get a lot of power 
outages; due to the numerous 40 ft palm trees dropping fronds on power 
lines. Why do people plant them that close to power lines? - Cause they 
look good - especially when there is no electricity.

IAE, we keep a flashlight in a certain place on a bookcase in the center 
of the house. When the lights go out - it's handy to know *exactly* where 
to go to and reach an emergency source of light.

House guests are advised of the reason and location of the flashlight.

Ted,
I hope you didnt/dont need that flashlight. Sending all kinds of good 
thoughts your way from here in south Alabama where it now seems that we dodged the 
bullet, for the time being anyway. Ivan may bear watching.

Look on the bright side. A lot less of those pesky 40 foot tall palms around 
now. :~)
