Your skylight story is hilarious and I'm glad everything is OK. I can just see Xena's Guy with one foot in the sink trying all of those fixes. How did Salty like the storm?
The Mom, Eaker, humblegunner, thackney, pax_et_bonum and eastforker have all been accounted for. They just don't have power back on yet.
Have you been able to get out and see if Nick's made it through the storm? ;-)
Okay, picture that you’re standing on the smoking patio of Nick’s, facing towards the knife fight.
To your left, there used to be two palm trees.
Now, there’s only one. The deceased one is in splinters; the remaining one looks great. Go figure.
But yeah, fortunately, Nick’s is fine!
