I do know that this is off topic, but I do hope the Administrators will not boot me off the forum for this infraction, for I could not think of any better, in fact any other way at all, to get this message thru to all those in this forum for whom it would be relevant.
I do not know where exactly those of you who are US-residents are in the US, whether it is on the east coast, and if so whether you are some way up north, near Boston-NY or the TriState area. If you are there, you must be hunkering down for Hurricane Sandy tomorrow and the day after. I have just got off the phone to my brother in New Hampshire, who is doing likewise.
I am keeping my fingers tightly crossed for him, and for you and your family, if you will be affected by Sandy. I shall also pray for the hurricane to slacken as it approaches the coast and then moves inland, as it often does.
Take care of yourselves, and God bless.
