Whipping up a storm

"Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget."

-- The Way We Were, Barbra Streisand



We finally got our power back today after it went out during Sunday's Steelers game. Shortly before halftime, the remnants of Hurricane Ike zoomed through.

When I resided in Florida, I lived through downed trees, replacing fridge contents every six months, no AC for weeks at a time and battling impatient motorists at dead intersection signals. I had even missed a game or two of televised Steelers games because of hurricane traffic.

BUT THIS IS PITTSBURGH, DAMMIT.
