BC,

This is a great pun.

I love it.

Well done.

The tune to Hey Jude comes into mind as a new set of lyrics begins to slowly form and the daily brain worm takes shape.

Thanks a lot.

I agree. Telling your grandkids you survived "Sandy" just seems a bit anti-climactic.

Perhaps Sandy will eventually become "The "Great East-Coast Super Storm of 2012".
