Thanks Chris,

So far I have not had to brew on the Kelly as my gas range is fine....however I did have to break out the emergency manual coffee grinder <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

We are one of the 173,000 still without power served by Puget Sound Energy, but overall we are in great shape. Gas fireplaces, gas water heater, no damage to our home, and plenty of good neighbors...so all is well.

We had a neighborhood pot luck Saturday....all the contents of our freezers presented a fairly interesting meal....plenty of wine and good company made for an enjoyable evening.

My wife and I have volunteered to staff a local shelter tonight and each night through the end of the week for those less fortunate. My emergency comm group and their CERT's are staffing.

I cannot quite imagine what state this area would be in if we had a significant issues like an earthquake however.
