I'm back!

So, I've been a bit absent the last few days, because of believe it or not, hurricane Ike. Now considering I live in the completely landlocked state of Ohio it seems a bit absurd that a hurricane would cause us any major problems. Well, after it was through torturing those poor Texans it hopped up here and we actually had winds classified as catagory one strength. Now I realize for some people that would be no big deal, but up here, we don't know how to deal with it. Ice, sure... snow, bring it on... hurricane... WTF???? So, yeah, no electricity since forever, in fact over the half the state was without power last I heard via a trusty battery powered radio. At the moment it's back on (thank God I live in a city) but I'm worried it will go off again. Presently our phone line is laying in our backyard... so yeah, good times. Just wanted to share the madness with my internet friends. Hope everyone else is safe!

Was wondering where were you were, am glad to know you are okay. We too had the terrible winds, but didn't lose power, that's always a crappy time! Take care and will look forward to your next thoughts once things return to normal. luv and hugs, laceytree

I'm glad you are okay, Tracy. I wondered how things were going in your part of the state. You are very lucky you didn't lose power, on the news they said over half the state did. I live near Columbus, which was hit pretty hard with power outages and stuff. I'm just glad none of our trees decided to fall over.
