Michele notes of hurricane Isabel:
It is the one big story in the news that has no dividing line, no conspiracy theories attached to it, no political undertones.
Indeed, where are the conspiracies? What kind of a self-respecting Axis has no underhanded dealings, no secrets, no conspiracies? It’s a fair question.
Hey, Michele, just a heads-up for you – the Axis is developing WMD.
Last night I made chili out of some perishables from my refrigerator. The effects should be lethal.

I have two uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) for my home PCs and network.
Now, with Isabel on it’s way, the odds the power will be knocked out are good enough to bet on. A near certainty, if history is any guide. Hence, everyone’s rush to the stores for batteries.
So, not being an electrical engineer… I wonder how long a fully-charged UPS would power a radio? A table lamp?
More importantly, how long would it be before the UPS’s alarm beeping would drive me insane?
