That is exactly why I refuse to bundle my services. Especially since it seems Comcast loses service if one sneezes too hard.

Glad you survived the storm, luckily it missed us for the most part.

On another note on this subject. If you shut off your car but leave the wipers "On" during an ice or snow storm the blades can freeze to the windshield. When you jump in the car to turn it on so it can warm up while you clean off the ice you can blow the fuze to the wipers.

Some of those fuze boxes are at the darndest angle down there near the floorboard.

A power down, extra fuze, flashlight plug.
Many moons ago when my dad taught me to drive, he expressed the exact same points. Good advice all around.
