Find a news truck with a satellite dish, CNN, FOX, CBS, etc. Hijack the
truck - drive it around the corner and post back to rec.aviation*. They must
have some sort of satellite-internet uplink *somewhere* in there with all of
those wall mounted TV monitors.

Newsgroups aren't an obsession or even an addiction, I would call it more of
an acquired taste.

We lost power, but were fortunate to have it come back on about four
hours later.

My power finally came back on at around 01:30. Interestingly, 2 blocks
north, 2 blocks south and 1 block east had power by 22:00.

Go figure.

Power back on in Dobbs Ferry, NY at about 0730 local time.

Down from 4:30 pm to 6:10 am.

Man, I need a better UPS. This one cacked out in the time it took me to
recognize the beep and rush down the stairs.

I need three more. The one on this computer (which has a 17 inch LCD)
is good for about an hour. The other computers all have 19" CRTs and
no UPS. Those computers and monitors run close to 300 watts and it
requires turning the monitors on to shut the things down gracefully.

I can type "/sbin/shutdown -hf now" without a monitor. Now if only I'd
remember to plug the USB hub into the UPS so that the keyboard works...
