Heh...remember that reporter on the Outer Banks that lost his pants on TV when Isabel hit?

Glenn Beck and Stu are cracking jokes about the hurricane. He's gone over the edge and I'm done with him.

There's a time for gallows humor. This ain't it.

Today is our first day of school...I'm here, just very busy!

I'll check in when I can.

MS-NBC has Brian Williams in the Superdome showing pics of big gaping holes in the roof.

I'm here! I'm alive!!

We finally got power back yesterday. Had to get everything settled and straightened out. I'm at work this morning and there is TONS of backlog to wade through. :-/

The DSL is dead at my house, so I may have to go back to dial-up until it gets workin' again.

Figures.

And thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. I'll admit that I was scared out of my wits when I realized that the eye was passing through.

I lost power before I saw the southward turn, but the radio stayed on during the storm and we stayed up all night watching out for tornadoes.

Half the shingles on my roof are gone, but no serious damage besides the fence.

OH! And the mourning doves came through just fine! They were preening themselves on what was left of the fence the following morning! :-D

Prayers for Louisiana! I'll be back when I get through the brunt of the work on my desk.

((Ruthy!!))

Glad to hear from you!

And on that note... time for me to head to work. :~|

[HairOfTheDog]

Very glad to hear from you Ruthy! This hurricane business is just no way to live.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Good to hear from you. Glad everything is (mostly) ok!

[Ramius]

[Whew] Glad to hear from you!!! :-)

[Corin Stormhands]

((((RUTHY))))

Good to hear from you. Now, get back to work. ;-)

[RMDupree]

hehehehe...

I'm so thankful that it was just a Cat1. With no shutters and little preparation, we would have been in VERY big trouble had it been stronger.

I'm feeling so sorry for the folks in LA. This storm is a slow mover - she takes her time about destroying things.

Just praying for minimal loss of life. Loss of property is unavoidable, but that's all replaceable.

I know it's verrrry small peanuts in the midst of everything...but I'd really appreciate prayers this afternoon for the job interview. It's at 1 o'clock Mountain Time.

[RosieCotton]

Ruthy! So glad you're safe, and back with us!

[Corin Stormhands]

It's not small peanuts to us, or to God. ;-)

That'll be 3:00 EST, right? We'll be praying.

[HairOfTheDog]

Not small peanuts at all! It's very important to you! Prayers for a good interview!

[RosieCotton]

Yep, three eastern. Thanks! I really want this job...not that I've said that before or anything. ;-)

[2Jedismom]

I'm on it!

[JenB]

Yeah, not small peanuts. I'll see you afterwards.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Best of luck with the interview! You'll be in our thoughts.

[Professional Engineer]

Knock 'em dead.

[RosieCotton]

Thanks, folkses. I appreciate it!
