Wow, now I've tuned this little sucker in good and the shave was really good

This afternoon I found myself home alone with a few minutes of time. I quickly ran upstairs, ran the shower, warmed the scuttle and stropped the razor. Enjoyed a nice short, but hot shower preserving some water. Unlike Bill in DC, that slut Sandy knocked the crap out of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Things are really horrible here for many folks, 4.3 million with no power. I feel blessed that all I lost was power. My heart goes out to all those who lost a loved one, a home or their belongings.

Anyway, I stole about 15 minutes so I wanted a really nice shave. Don't know when I'll get another opportunity to do it again.
