So, just what are we going to gouge people with ? Really, think about it...it's an inconvenience and a danger to some....But what do you gouge people on ?....Rock salt ? A generator you don't need beyond the weekend ?
The state is always there to protect us.
Retailers had a rough time of it this weekend and they hardly need to be vilified by Mr Schneiderman and the Albany crowd.

Restoration of Power Continues
The number of households without power continues to dwindle as the recovery weekend ice storm continues. Thank you for all your cooperation and neighborly attitudes.
The weather is cooperating more today and more progress will be made.
Thank you to all who helped with such a quick response, especially our city crews who were on top of things from the get go.
The same was true throughout the region.

Pussy Riot freed, slam Russian amnesty as 'PR move'
In a bid to look nice prior to the 2014 Winter Olympics, the Russian government is releasing dissidents from jail including two members of the brash punk rock band Pussy Riot.
Clearly Vladimir Putin is in a holiday mood.

No Rest for the Wicked.... Tabloids Unleash on the Hounds on Eliot's Latest Affair
The term "shacking" up is kind of like "broad" or "dame"....It's from a bygone era....But the tabloids like to dust off those old morality standards for one of their favorite targets, the hooker-happy former Governor Eliot Spitzer.
The 54 year old Spitzer is a lion in winter of sorts with his new 31 year old gal pal, Liz Smith, a media guru now working on the transition staff of Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio.

Monday Morning
Bad weather is always less ominous during daylight and this morning brings a temperature of 34 in the city and a check around my neck of the woods shows less ice as many trees shed their covering overnight...many others did not but there are fewer leaners among the trees I see every day.
I am sure it varies greatly depending on location. I listened to radio this AM and an informative interview with a NiMo....scratch that.....Grid spokesman. Remember the old days when Paul Forte was the reassuring voice of the monolithic utility. They have a new reassuring voice who did a good job.
Still no cable so I am getting used to life without television but am thankful I have heat and light.
I am confident today will be a day of progress as the weather event is over and many will see power restored.
You can't change the weather but modern devices and the experience of previous storms has helped make this one a little easier to deal with.
Of course losing the technologies we depend on makes us more victimized than we really may be.
Like the folks who called 9-1-1 to say their cable is out.
8:30...Time to head to the bank and city hall and start a new day. May the best be with you as the Christmas holiday nears.

NYS Conservative Party Chair: Rob Astorino Says He Won't Run A Gubernatorial 'Suicide Mission' | New York Daily News
The man most thought to be a strong challenger to Andrew Cuomo says he doesn't want to go on a suicide mission and be Andy's sacrificial lamb. That means Westchester County's Rob Astorino may not have the stomach and audacity to run. Seeking higher office is often a question of just saying I'm doing it now because the train may not stop here again.
Case in point, Barack Obama in 2008. Or on a much smaller scale, when I first ran in 1991.
The challenge of beating Mr. Cuomo is difficult because its a Democratic state and on many issues the incumbent has performed well.
He is vulnerable on some issues for sure, but so far Mr. Astorino has shown little statewide to suggest he really is interested.
Meeting with Crazy Carl doesn't exactly smack of a consensus.
