New telephones poles replaced.

Lived thru two weeks of no power after Hurricane Ike.

It gets better.

Watch the signal lights treat them as 4 way stops.

Enjoy looking at the stars.

The night sky will be beautiful.

Enjoy the quiet and peace.

Get to know your neighbors.

Have a bbq party and cook your meat before it spoils.

This do shall pass but it will seem forever.

If you have a gas stove you still use the stove top.

You need a match.
