9/29/08--Remnants of Ike

Eventually, my readers will find me here. Our house was without power for 12 days. That was the bad news. The good news was that we got to know some of our neighbors and had several nights of block parties, eating and telling stories. A day and a half after Ike, we got a cool front so we could sleep pretty easily for a few days. Then Houston humidity crept back in and we had more trouble sleeping at night. Just as we got power back, another cool front came in, so the people still without power got another break. Today, over 2 weeks after Ike, I saw on a news site that 145,000 people in the Houston area are still without power. Such is life in the semi-tropics.
More later, after I know how to do my file transfers. Minerva4owl.
