An article over at ChannelWeb reports on how one of our local VAR's is responding to the latest fires here.
His house was on the news, because his neighbor used a pump to pull water out of his pool, and save houses around his.
That was just a few weeks ago - today, 26 inches of snow.
I needed to be at a "mandatory" bid-meeting at 9:00 AM. The mountains had the biggest snow fall since 1997 over the past two days. I woke to a buried Land Rover and no electricity, at 5,000 feet above and 45 minutes away from the meeting.
Leaving a voice mail apparently shed an extra 90 minutes grace in my direction - I began to dig the Rover out.
With a great deal of help from two of my colleagues, one racing in from Orange County one "stalling" the sign-in, I ended up getting to the meeting although my co-worker signed in for us.(to be known from this day forward as "Speed")
Over 70 people at this bid-meeting - I am contemplating a detailed article on the "benefits" of working with county/government purchasing types - let's just say, you never get to work "with" them, only "for" them...
