Cleo, Sparky, Torn and other folks in Florida

[Simon]

Yesterday we lost all power, cable, phone, dsl, you name it, even cell service has been out for the second day now. The wind and rain did not stop here all day and all night, finally clearing some this morning.

Making this post on battery power and an old dial-up aol account during now and then phone service, which is all that's come back at all yet. One of the trees fell yesterday too, hiting the roof of the boat house but looks like no damage. Lots of neighbors have trees down.

Going to be slow going here until services come back.

Apologies to those folks I lost in mid-IMs yesterday.
