Great!!

Believe me, I spoke of you often, and worried for you more times than you might ever imagine.

Mary Beth and I are very happy to hear you are in fine shape, and the cats are safe, as well.

Up here in Southern Illinois - We got mild winds and about two inches of slow, deep earth sinking rain.

The mild breezes and rain caused a lot of just ripened persimmons to fall from our trees, so we gathered them up, extracted the pulp, and froze up enough to last through the Winter.

This morning with first coffee, I had a big chunk of persimmon pudding. (Recipe from WB8TNN's (Jim Steffey) mother, as written up in the First Christian Church of Lawrenceville Cookbook)

Will probably get more persimmons next hurricane after GWB puts military over FEMA. After all, persimmon pudding is his Daddy's favorite dessert, and..........

end of report
all damage under control
When life hands you persimmons, make pulp.

I'm here. We have about 3/4 of the servers back up on a 5KW generator.
They're still talking several weeks before power is restored. No A/C, no
lights until we get the bigger generator in here. My email is a little
hosed because I have my mail server offline and am working directly from
my sysmatrix mail boxes.

Computing by kerosene lantern. Running my laptop from an inverter hooked
to the battery I pulled from the Rivi until we put the big gen in and I
can move it to the power outlets. Laptop was never intended for primary
use so I never bothered to get a good battery for it.

Drove about 100 miles NW (a little north of Lufkin) yesterday to buy fuel.
The lines here are about 4 hours long so that was almost faster. If I can
be sure I can get back in here I'll probably be doing that once a week or
so. The boss' wife's mini-van only uses about 8 gallons of fuel for the
trip so it doesn't add to our cost significantly.

Jefferson county, where my house is located, is still locked down. No
entry allowed. I left at least a month's worth of food/water down for the
cats and opened up the upstairs for them. There are no trees around my
house and there was no flooding reported so it, and they, should be OK.
They won't open up the county until basic services (water/sewer primarily)
are restored. Another week or two at least.
