Ärende: cooking out
===================
Hi Nancy,


 RH> Not as if you lived up there year round. (G) I'm debating on leaving

 NB> Exactly.

You would probably be snowed in and stir crazy without the computer if
you did live there year round.


 RH> my computer here for my October trip; I get to AZ Friday evening and
 RH> leave Monday morning with a wedding in between. I might be too busy to
 RH> have the time for it.  Sit down dinner reception I think but don't know
 RH> what the menu is; they may be waiting for the RSVPs to come in on that
 RH> one.

 NB> Did I miss something?  Who's getting married...?  No point in bringing
 NB> along unnecessary luggage, for sure..  :)

My nephew is getting married in Scottsdale. I'm going to try to go with
just a carry on (picked an outfit that doesn't mind wrinkles) if
possible.


 NB>  RH>> Margaretville).
 RH> Wet, don't know for sure what the latest is as we've not talked in a
 RH> few days. Steve talked to my dad on Wednesday; Dad said a fire took out
 RH> a good bit of the downtown area in addition to the flooding. Fire took
 RH> a tbar (no loss), small family (fast food type but not a chain)
 RH> restaurant and a gourmet food store (catered to tourists, prices were
 RH> definately high for the area) among other buildings.

 NB> They really were badly hit, weren't they.  :(   Did Lee do any more
 NB> damage to them?

Yes, he was almost as devastating. Talked to my folks last night, had a
long letter (written over several days) from my dad today. The river
crested only about a foot below Irene's flooding. More damage was done
in other parts of the area than Margaretville because the Susquehanna
River flooded this time more than the Delaware. What little economy the
area had is in worse shape than it was before; farmers lost crops,
tourism will take a big hit and small niche shops will probably fold.
