"Also, if you are the asshole that owns the generator behind me who only turns it on at night - which of course keeps me up all night - I hope you choke."

I know who it is, and yes it is annoying.....but hey that's her gig...
i can't beleive the beach got compared to the 9th ward, but what a suprise it was to come back into town to all this, candles running low, morale diminishing, food spoiled, but the dog seems happier than ever!

At least as late as yesterday evening there was still a tree and two snapped in half telephone/power line polls blocking East Ave. just south of Blake.

Monday night, I saw a couple of houses with a massive tree that had fallen on to them - on East I think - and both houses had electricity!

Is this another one of those situations where half of Hound Dog's/Ravari has power but the other half doesn't?

DONEWAITING.COM HQ IS NOW UP AND RUNNING!!!

There was a lot of spontaneous dancing and hugging and singing when we came home from a movie tonight to see our neighbors' lights on.

And our cable and internet works too (obviously). It's a September miracle.

OTE finally back online. look out, world.

my favorite part of the dispatch story this morning:

AEP says it doesn't know how it will pay for all the extra work, both from its own employees and those who arrived from out of state to help.

"That's something we'll be addressing when everything's over and done with," Dutton said, adding that it's possible some of the bill will be passed on to customers.

they can go ahead and try to bring that shit - i'll send them offsetting bills for my spoiled food and hotel stay.

The cops had a generator hooked up to the lights at neil/spring/670 lights for rush hour last night and channel 10 was there reporting. Later today they will be reporting from my kitchen to interview me about how many cartons of ice cream were lost.

Spoiler: Three.

hope it's for longer than the 20-second tease last night.
