Sherman can blow at the park entrance and not at the powerlines or vise
versa....Maybe the answer is a sensor at several sites and we know to
risk 3 hrs of driving (from S. Bay) if all are going off.

With this crummy weather, I've been rollerblading, bike riding and
working out at my club. Too much to do to chase all over for iffy
sensor readings.
Of course, I am going out of town for 6 days starting friday so it will
be sure to blow. Contributions for my next trip will be expected if it
does turn out to be a good weekend!

regards
Kirk out
