North Easter Storm.  The last two videos.

The next video shows the aftermath and a short walk to where I went the night before where the road was flooded over by the river.

The storm is gone and I can’t believe people are just starting to pump their basements.  I guess a lot of  folks wait till it is over before they bother.  I have stuff in our basement,  mainly a new heating system.  So it is vital that we keep the water low.

Sometimes I am amazed that this old house, built in 1914 is still standing.  But she is a hardy old bird!  I didn’t make a video of the second storm because it was just about the same.  Just a little less height in the water because we were awake when it started coming in.

I think I will just leave everything hooked up for the rest of the season!  You know to be safe.

Northeaster Storm or the Nor’ Easter.

What a mess and this is our personal experience.  It always seems like the worst things happen when you are asleep.

I shot these very unprofessional video clips to chronicle specifically for this blog.  Then life got in the way and I forgot.  Till we got hit with another storm!  And, another flood.  Not the same kind of storm but unrelenting rains on an already saturated ground.

We are in a low area.   We can do high tides on their own and we can handle ground saturation in a stand-alone situation.   When we get both at the same time, forget it, it’s all over and the basement will flood. 

This is a four-part video show.

Part One is of the heavy rains and standing water.

++++++++

Part Two is of the 4 inches of water that arrived in the basement and a clip of the high water from the river covering the road into our neighborhood, making it impassible.

President Obama and his wife Michele had their first State Dinner for India’s Prime Minister.  You can read about all the details and opulence in this  CBS report.

But what is wrong with this picture?

I heard a rumor that the dress Michele Obama wore cost $47,000 dollars.  Now let me state, right here and now, that I haven’t been able to verify this cost and the cost of the overall party.  I haven’t found an article showing what the expenses might have been.

I read an article on the internet from the Wall Street Journal but the part of the interview with Naeem Khan (the dress designer) only mentioned that his dresses usually go for about 5 to 15 thousand dollars.  The statement about the dress being priceless didn’t really satisfy my curiosity because it seemed to imply that the dress was a gift!  I find it incredibly hard to believe this designer paid 40 people a salary without any compensation to himself!  Or for the employees?

(I went to the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) website to see if I could find out the facts.  I found the government’s site a little daunting!  I will keep trying to learn.)

I have been thinking about this all week.  Trying to figure out the hypocrisy.  I know parties are nice and some are necessary for Capitol Hill.   But do these parties  really have to cost so much?  Does the White House really have to have a tent with chandeliers?

I am sure that the total amount spent on the State Dinner could have gone to better causes.  You know like food for the homeless, getting a few folks housing, perhaps a little medical help for a few folks.  Don’t you think the excessive money, spent on this shin dig, could have been better spent?

ARE  our tax payer dollars are getting totally squandered!  My two cents worth of confusion???!!!???

What happened to my computer?

I got a malware virus, YIKES.  My computer was a mess and my Son came to the rescue! Poor guy spent the whole Thanksgiving holiday on my computer because I went (unknowingly) to a malicious web site.

Now, of course, he has a leash on me. So, things aren’t quite right just yet. Still have to get all the files working and cleaned up. But at least I am back on line.

Ok, Ok.  It’s another shameless auction plug!

I just listed these Canon Ink Cartridges BCI 3eBK BCI 6Y 6C 6M.  Seven in total because I bought a new Canon printer and these cartridges don’t fit the new machine.

More Canon Cartridge details here.

Plus this HP Laser Jet Print Cartridge, that I am selling for my Uncle, is still available at my store. Hewitt Packard 12A.

What is wrong with this Halloween picture? 

I don’t want to be negative about a, once, delightful, event for children BUT I simply can’t take it any more!  This will be my last year for giving out treats to the children.  The adults in my area have just ruined it for me and their kids.

This Halloween I just couldn’t believe the number of ”Adults”, coming around with infants, in strollers.  Although, the babies were wearing costumes, they could neither walk or chew candy but the parents with No other small child in site,  came up on the porch to retrieve candy for the infant.  About ten of those senerios! 

And, since when have Adults escorting groups of children think they are entitled to a candy reward?  Coming to the door with their own pillow cases!!  What is up with that?

I, as a giver of candy, shouldn’t be put into a position where I would have to call another person on the carpet.  I don’t want to give anyone the opportunity to have an altercation with me over a candy bar.  Just too many lunie tunes walking the streets these days.   :( 

Am I happy? 

I voted today and I normally don’t vote for Republicans, as I am a Constitutionalist by nature.  This year I voted totally Republican,  just to get some of the fools, in office, out of power.  Even if it is only in our fine Commonwealth.  

I am happy that the tides have turned in Virginia and New Jersey. Still have my fingers crossed for the State of New York.

What?  John Stossel Moved to Fox? 

I was delightfully surprised when I saw John Stossel on the Glen Beck TV show just last week.  Then I received an email from a friend and they told me that John Stossel had been asked to part company from ABC.  Primarily because a broadcast about the new proposed health care plan. 

I think I live such a sheltered life that I thought this might be a sham,  so I snooped around some of the WordPress Blogs and found these blogs with some information, http://onemansthoughts.wordpress.com   http://obambi.wordpress.com  their posts were written in September and October 2009.  Then I found a link to the New York Post http://www.nypost.com/.  Of course, now I know just how out of touch I am!   Geesh, where have I been?  Glen Beck even has John Stossel’s interview on his web site under “interviews” http://www.glenbeck.com/. 

 Then, I went to www.youtube.com and found this video!  Apparently, this is part of the show that didn’t sit to well with ABC.  So, just incase some of you folks out there are like me, out of the loop so to speak, you can see the clip here too.

Apparently,  This show was broadcast in July.  I missed it because I seldom watch ABC anymore.  Most of the programs are no longer interesting to me, being either to fluffy or a little too liberal for me.   I find CBS to be a little more entertaining and Fox is where I find most of my news.
