It's nice to see you back here, have missed your posts and humour.
Beautiful area, Nova Scotia, as I remember it from back in '72 when we
visited there. It sounds like your off the beaten path (no hydro?)

Not a drop (at least not from the power utility). I'm running 600W of solar
panels (we'll increase that by 50% this year) and a 400W windmill.

The path _was_ pretty well beaten last fall, when Hurricane Juan hit, but it
barely made category two. I can't imagine what it must be like for the
folks who have already endured Charlie, Frances and Ivan, this year.
