H8Monga: Thanks for your concern
(I didn't see this thread when I came back :-[)
Being without power for a day is an inconvenience. Being without power for two days gets annoying. Anything after that is hell! I feel sorry for those here they say won't have power until October 3... that's 15 days! Even after having 5 days out, I was beginning to say, "Who needs electricity? My house was built without it, generations did just fine without it... it's not THAT bad! I can live with this! Man, it's getting hot in here. *turns on fan* Damn it! I forgot. I'M GONNA DIE! TURN THE POWER BACK ON!!!" I dodged insanity!
But yes, I have made it (I think this is #1002, although my post history will say 1026 which i find weird... I guess I have lost posts)!
