Nada since 7:30 Saturday morning, thank you Rita.
Lost quite a few trees, including a monster oak seventy feet tall with a trunk over four feet in diameter, and a gorgeous weeping willow. Roof is showing wood over less than half its surface.
All and all, we fared damned well.
But boy! Has it been hot. 105+ heat index every day until today, and not a running air conditioner in sight. At daybreak, the temp dropped, its been cloudy and cool (70's) all day, and then the power comes on.
I am _not_ complaining, by the way. :woohoo:
So what have I missed?? (I heard about Delay. :rofl:)

2. Hurricane Jeanne last year left us for days without power. |

It was very unnerving and so good to get back online for real news.
Welcome back, and no more hurricanes.

Too bad about the oak - willows are messy, unless you need the water absorption.

8. Glad your power is back on! |

I was really feeling for all of you without electricity with the sweltering heat we've been having in Texas the past few days. It was 113 where I am Monday BEFORE you factor in the heat index. UGH! Did you see that Judith Miller is going to testify tomorrow yet? ( http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4929350 )That's a good story and then there's the fact that Larry Franklin will plead guilty next Wednesday. ( http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4928880 ) Glad you back and all is well with you and yours. :)
