I was at that Pennsic.  I remember hearing about the 
outage and thinking how glad I was that I was at Pennsic 
and not at home.  I'm a mountain camping girl at heart, 
but after living on the east coast for a few years, you 
forget what silence is.

On the cooking/relief front:  How many of us have multiple 
copies of the same cookbooks?  Maybe we can get a running 
tally together of "available" books to help replace some 
of the destroyed collections from our folks.  I think I 
have 2 copies of Sabina...Must look.  Might make a good 
Thanksgiving idea.
