Why would he want to be there? :huh:

Warmer than Canada in November.

Doesn't answer my question. ^_^

@Valmy - I've learned that heat isn't the only criteria of importance when choosing a place to be.

Some get a flashlight so an electrician can find the On Switch for the country's power grid.

Almost certainly a Chinese cyber-attack.  It would be wise for India to respond with a series of nuclear attacks on China.

My company got slammed hard. We rely on our Indian.......associates to program overnight so things are fixed when we wake up. It seems like they must have sent them home and had them work overnight, or they pulled a double shift. They're going to have sweet 2.00 paychecks next pay period.
Winner of THE grumbler point.

He might be driving through on the way to Cal's house.

I thought the Indians were used to their grid going offline for periods at a time.
