By now you're all well aware that I'm retiring. I worked my last full shift on Friday night and will enter and leave the Plant one final time on Wednesday the 31st.

It hasn't stopped raining since I got out of work just before dawn on Saturday. Sandy, billed as our biggest storm ever, is just now rolling in. She's going to be just in time to join forces with a wintry storm coming in from the west and a cold arctic front sliding down from Canada.

It appears that my retirement has angered the Fair Weather Gods, so I guess it's time we all trade our bikes in for Hobie Kayaks!!

Just sayin'.
