So, just taking a look at the last blog I posted, I realized I had a typo.

"Ceasar, we who are about to DIE, salute you."

Well, it turns out that I didn't die or anything. It just seemed that way. We survived the storm, but we didn't survive the loss of electrical power or internet power. Actually, all this time, I've been working but didn't think of posting until yesterday when I was at home, re-initiating the router. We just got internet at the house, after a week without. Light was on about three days after the storm. "V" had to wait a week or more for her lights to come on. Cities look freaky without lights. Driving down the freeway, neighborhoods completely out, the freeway lights out, gave the nightly drive from "V"s to home an eerie feel. It was somewhat disconcerting. It all felt apocolyptic. Anyway, everyone is fine (except for a generator that decided to whine to death down the street from where we were sleeping). Talk about a rude awakening.
