[AT] Hurricane Irene

[Charlie V]

When I first purchased my home in 1967, I asked the old gentleman next
door if he was a good neighbor.  His reply was that he was usually as
good a neighbor as his neighbor.  I always thought that reply carried
some wisdom, and we got along fine for a number of years.  Funny how
things change.  Now I am the old guy saying that.
