While nothing compared to those suffering through the hurricanes, just a quick update…

Our power came back on at about 9PM on Friday night. They teased us by flipping it on for about 10 seconds, then back off for about 20 minutes. We knew it was close then and when it came on you could hear cheers throughout the neighborhood.

Unfortunately, the cable was down.

Which meant the Internet was down.

We’re talking not even a signal. The stupid box wouldn’t even set the time or anything. You don’t realize how much you miss Internet access until it’s gone. Ditto for TV. It’s just awesome to get 1 channel because you don’t have an antennae

We got cable (and Internet) back Sunday at 5PM and life in my neck of the woods is back to normal. There’s still a lot of cleanup to do in the area, but it’s getting there.

(Once again, don’t tell me how good I have it compared to the hurricane victims, I acknowledged that, just relax.)
