SH> As long as you are hale and hearty and your home is in one piece, you can

We call it differently down here, Steven.  Dodging the bullet is missing
one altogether.
 
SH> Well, that ;s good to hear. :-)
 
Any time you come through one of those "Evil Eyes" unscathed,
then you can be absolutely sure that somebody up there likes you.
 
SH> I'd agree with you.  We've been watching footage of Ike coming ashore all
SH> day. Were you hit by the projected rains and gusts?
 
A little rain and the skies remained overcast for a couple of days (this
should end today) and gusts of wind from 29-40 MPH.  Put quite a damper on
the restoration of electric power to the rest of the city still without.
Many of the commercial areas are without power, but we did find a
restaurant open yesterday doing a land office business.  Somebody forgot to
take a sign off the door which read "Closed at 8PM because of the
curfew."  The curfew we were under for hurricane Gustav was 24-hours
and that lasted almost a week.
 
SH> I think Ms. Palin is just a bit too naive for a vice presidential
SH> candidate but she sure is interesting.
 
I don't see her that way at all, but time will tell.
