We have a whole bunch more trucks and worker bees in the neighborhood this morning than we've had since Ike hit. Perhaps we'll actually have power back in the next day or two.

We have a generator, so we have lights, refrigeration, Internet, etc. The micro-wave pulls too much power so any cooking has to be done on the gas grill outside. We've mostly been surviving on things that you can eat cold, and dining out.

Fortunately the temps have been much cooler the last 5 or 6 days, so no A/C has been more bearable and I've been able to sleep at night.

As Simon mentioned, my productivity has suffered significantly. Looking forward to getting back to a more normal routine soon, but it will likely be sometime in November before all the debris lining the streets gets removed.
