When a blizzard hit in Buffalo, we had a party...played billards, cards, and threw on an extra blanket at night...no big deal.&nbsp; Fired up the snow blower and dug out...NEVER had to replace roofs or homes in my town...NEVER!</p><p><br /></p><p>Even had time to look through lots of coins!&nbsp; Imagine that!</p><p><br /></p><p>I am thankful I was on the exit path of Charley!&nbsp; BTW...still love my Bills![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
