Hi All -
St. Louis, where the World Of Fire Report is put togther and posted, is possibly in for some nasty weather... Assuming the power never goes out here - World Of Fire Report: 01-24-04 & 01-25-04 will be posted on Sunday. Otherwise, I've got blankets, flashlight, batteries & candles. I'll be home all day on Sunday either getting caught up on the World Of Fire Report or sitting in the dark trying to keep warm.
Should be a lot of fun,
-Paul
