Back online and thankful
Things are getting back to normal somewhat. After having our car die Tuesday, our area got hit by severe thunderstorms and tornadoes that knocked out power. We finally got our car back, with the problems that have afflicted it for the past couple of months fixed (we hope!) Friday afternoon. It runs like a remember it running before the problems that the mechanics we're able to find started hampering it.

And we've gotten partial power back—at least enough to save most of our refridgerated and frozen food and work out a workaround to get one computer up. We still have no way to cook other than on the outdoor grill. Repair crews still had over 40,000 customers without power last night and are working hard at restoring the rest.

We're thankful that going without power for an undetermined time frame is all the inconvenience we've suffered. Many people in our area lost their homes completely in the storms. Then there are the much more severe storms that have ragaged the Gulf Coast. We've got nothing to complain about.

But I should be able to continue my blog now as things get back to normal here.
