Sorry, I thought this was a post on the Nelson twins.

Gotta say, I was impressed with CTA last night. I planned a route on-the-fly to get home from work with maximum dryness in mind and only one bus had a minor delay...everything else was running on time! Or should I say wading on time? Any chance we could get some hovercraft in this next budget?

A pre-emptive post before some corporate lackey compares dumping sewage into the lake to the BP uproar: BP was going to be dumping every single day, while the sewer overflows once every couple of years. And, raw sewage decays into non-harmful compounds given enough oxygen, water and time, whereas lead and mercury do not.

With all the power outages and the mess from the trees, I am glad that I bought a generator at www.ElectricGenertatorsDirect.com earlier this year. Remember, if you are using a portable generator, be safe. They emit carbon monoxide, which is odorless and deadly. Always run it outside and vent the exhaust away from the house. Be safe.
