Esp. for people with surplus fry and all. Nothing sadder than an empty tank swimming with memories. Yours truly lost a lot of fish at home when the house temp got below 50. I brought the survivors into work yesterday (Sunday) when power was restored here. Still without power in so-called rural Woodinville (strip malls, shopping districts, stores, but it's "rural" and may not get power back till Thursday).Matt > Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2006 10:43:41 -0800> From: matt@wrongcrowd.com> To: gsas-member@thekrib.com> Subject: Re: [GSAS-Member] Storm Power Outages> > > Man, sorry to hear that.> > My office in Bellevue is still without power so I have the day off.
