    8 days without power? Wtf, you live in Afghanistan?  I think I’ve lost power here a total of 2 days in 17 years.

    Must be nice to live in the city, I lost power for 5 days for Irene and 5 for the October Snow storm, and I wasn’t necessarily in the sticks of NE CT

    Off the top of my head for me: 10 days Oct 11 snow, 9 days May 18 Tornado, and 7 days Aug 20 Isiass.

    9 days for Irene, 3 for Octobomb, 8 for IsiASS.  Sucks being at the end of the lines on a rural road.

    Same here.  They really picked up yesterday afternoon.  The past few weeks it was just one or two that would harass me in the yard, but now it's a swarm.  My favorite trick is to take a blue solo cup and cover it in the clear tanglefoot fly trap goo and then put it on an old hat and walk around the yard with it on my head.  Sure, I look like a complete whacko, but every time they dive bomb in for the kill they get stuck and once they see one stuck they think it's a buffet and they all end up getting stuck. It's very satisfying.

    Similar strategy here.  Blue baseball cap with tape on the front and bill.  Put tanglefoot on the tape, put the hat on backwards and walk around the yard or wear it while mowing.  Always have a dozen or so of those f*ckers stuck to it when I'm done.
