   NB> DS> The other day, winds gusted to 47 mph at Little Rock in central   
   NB> DS> Arkansas...and to 61 mph at Newport in northeast Arkansas. At one   
   NB> DS> time, according to Entergy, over 10,000 people were without power.   
      
   NB>Hopefully all was restored in good time...  :)  About the same time,   
   NB>Maine had a similar weather-induced outage... over most of the state...   
   NB>friends of mine were only without power for a half-day or so... I think   
   NB>most if not all the state is back to normal now...   
      
     Not sure how long the power was out. Fire danger is really climbing,   
   and burn bans are increasing. We have a slight chance of rain by the   
   middle of next week...but we may be lucky to get 1/4 of an inch of rain.   
   No real winter weather is seen for my part of the country for awhile,   
   although morning lows have been rather chilly.   
      
   NB>... Read enclosed instructions carefully before opening.   
      
     That's like the VHS or DVD video on "how to operate the player".
