Huzzah! I have power again! And it took much less time than I was expecting to get it back, which is always good.

It's not the lack of electricity that bothers me in situations like this. That's annoying, but survivable. It's not even the fact that it was in the high eighties today and I had no working fans. It's the lack of running water that was most problematic. Well water might taste better than municipal water, but that hardly matters when it's still stuck in the well and the pump is electric.

Running water and working plumbing. Among the greatest blessings of civilization. Don't take them for granted.

No water does totally suck. The only positive is that I no longer have any large livestock relying on me- a lot of the farmers around here have generators, of course, but those only stretch so far, and people were really worried about keeping their herds from getting heat stroke.

I did get your email, but I guess you didn't get my answer? How weird, I wonder what happened to it. Some days (many days) I really hate my computer.

Argh. My domain filters mail, which is good since it's a public address, but not always good. I've re-sent from my ISP e-mail address. It doesn't filter. Sorry about that.

And yeah, good thing no livestock. Argh.

It wasn't my computer for once? Neato. I still hate it, of course. That's second nature at this point.

Anyway, email is rezapped. And now let the "Call me, Beep me.." dancing begin! Woo! *g*

E-mail received, and address label printed out. Since I hope to crash shortly, it should catch Saturday's mail. Then again, if I start writing, it'll be Monday.
