i kept hearing that 50% of the 2.5 million people without power would have it returned by november 8th, & the rest of us by november 22nd, a day after my birthday. fortunately (& obviously) my building is one of the first restored - we lost power monday morning but got it back thursday night. so yay for that, sir.
a couple particularly good hurricane pics are on my latest gudu post here - the first photo is worth the click even if you don't care about my hair.
best part of the hurricane: the nasty black olive tree that would drip its nasty black olive slop on my nice white car after every rainstorm is the tree in the third pic. :D
thanks to everyone who cared enough to email/call, which isn't most of you.
