Finally, I have returned to the 21st century.
That massive windstorm caused damage like I've never seen before (dozens of trees uprooted, including one in our back yard that took out our gutter), took out power to the entire city of Madison for 52 hours (and there are still people in the country who aren't expected to have power back for weeks) and crippled our water supply. But everything's back here now, thank God, and they've lifted the boil-water advisory and I can go take a shower soon (thank GOD). So how has everyone been?

Curu, it sucks being directly north of where a hurricane hit, huh? The ground got so satuated with Gustav that our neighbors tree fell. Luckily it was only our fence that took the damage. With Ike, we had flash flooding and a tornado about 5 miles from where I live. Which is a reason I'm considering moving to the Netherlands

Right. Because THEY have no trouble with water.

*sniggers* Well, there's bound to be water in a country that's partially below sea-level. But then again, they take very good care of their levies and other structures. They're already budgetting what it is going to take to keep them dry if the sea-levels rise above today's levels, something I wish my policitians would take into account instead of pretending our old, desperate-in-need-of-upgrading little storm-walls are going to keep our feet dry forever.

Fire and Ice by Robert Frost Some say the world will end in fire; Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To know that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.

I never said it was because they have no problem with water, at least they don't have hurracanes and tornados.
I have had two tornados hit very close to my house, so I have a very heathy fear of rotating winds

yeah, I hated living in tornado country. Fortunately, there are lots of places where they're very rare.

I'm getting ready to do my first radio show in a couple hours here, and you guys can listen online if you feel so inclined. http://wupx.com/ I'll be on from midnight to 3 my time. Feel free to request something but if I don't like it I probably won't play it.

Hehe. I usually go to bed pretty early myself, since I have to wake up for class. I liked the idea of having a show in the middle of the night though.

"Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep."
