I could say a fair amount about that, based on previous experience with forums and chatrooms where the only people who could do stuff would be gone and nobody had their userlevel, so nothing could get handled when needed. @Eugene , that sounds like a standard year for me... this year was a lot cooler than normal.
LOL @Charlet ... too bad you didn't see the Halloween blizzard of '91 (about a foot-and-a-half in like ten hours... had candy left from that one for like two years)
Update on the Louvre Robbery: there are four more being arrested today, unfortunately there's no trace of the jewels being found since October 19th according to BBC News.
You know, there was a question from one of my fb pages I follow that asked, if time travel were possible what event would you visit in history and change. My response was that I'd stop or make sure Hitler were never born. And then I began thinking about it. And thought....how would that change ACME? Would we still be Anerican and international? Would we still have The united nations and NATO?
