Get 'em while you're hot

Forget BLM, blackouts suck

As Greenwich’s power outage extends towards week two, readers who still don’t have a generator may want to rethink that omission and call my friend Louis Van Leeuwen at Greenwich Power Systems, the best Generac and Koehler dealer around. They’re expensive: $15-$20,000 and up, depending, but with Eversource being forced to divert your electrical fees to green energy subsidies, and the ongoing drive to destroy the power grid by shutting down oil and natural gas pipelines, and blocking new transmission lines, what wind storms won’t accomplish, our coming New Green Eel program will. Call Lou.

Full disclosure, Louis is a close friend of mine, so you might want to take this recommendation with a grain of salt, but I know him, his work as a custom builder, and his prowess as a fisherman (okay, that’s pretty slim, but he’s got a great boat, and as long as his piscatorial betters are aboard, he can catch fish); in short, I know the man, and he’s more than okay, (Can a goy call a Jew a mensch? Who cares? He’s a mensch.) A brief prenatal history telling how a Dutch Jew came to be born in Jamaica during WW II can be found in an earlier post of mine, Jews for Bobsledders. Certain types may want to overlook his politics — I certainly try to — but you’re not looking for perfection, just a solution to the food rotting in your refrigerator, and this is it.
