Well, we had a nice little storm roll through here. And, as is standard around the Washington area, any breeze over 2 mph will cause trees to fall. Had one brush past the house. No damage to the house, but it snagged -all- the outside wires. Power, phone, cable. Because the power outtage only effects my house and nothing surrounding us, we are low on the priority list. And since the line that is down may be live, none of the other services can approach to start cleanup (tree removal, phone company, cable company) until the power company gets their butts out here. Lovely. So, anyway, won't be hearing from me for a few days (probably until Sunday when I'm back at work). Sigh. can't even process the shots I took in the studio tonight. Ah well.... -=>Donald
