I've managed to get my computer up again, after surges in the electricity lines as the linemen tried to reinitialize electricity here. I had several damaged components, but those are repaired or replaced now.
Tonight I'll post a real entry and start to tell my portion of this horrible story.
If you've not done so yet, and can, please, I beg of you, donate to a reputable charity. Be sure to designate your contribution to be used soley for the Hurricane relief effort.
Thank all of you for the kind notes and emails, I appreciate them immeasurably.
