Lights are on

We finally got power back last night.  I was still at my parents' house and I was screaming enough when John called and told me that Mike came up to try to figure out what was wrong.  I really just wanted to sit back and enjoy the civilization of TV, but my cable isn't up and running yet.  Damn.  I'm most upset that I still haven't been able to watch last Thursday's shows that are trapped on the hard drive of my DVR, which I can't access, either, without cable.  And I'm having Daily Show withdrawal.  This also means I have no internet access at home and that screws up the Vonage phones, but at least that automatically forwards to my cell phone.

But I really can't whine.  No one got hurt.  We had no major damage.  Just a lot of inconvenience and a lot of broken tree limbs to clean up.
