Hey kids -- power's still out at my house. Lights went out at 5:45 Saturday morning, I think. Friday I shuttered three houses. Is that right? I think that's right. I've lost track of days a little.
Today, I'm back at work. There is air conditioning here, and internet connections.
Yesterday, we drove to Hollywood, FL (about 50 miles south) for a hot lunch, ice cream and to look for ice. The ice cream was great, but we got one (1) bag of ice from the back of a tiny convenience store's beer cooler. That was it for ice. Enough to keep the baby's milk from spoiling for a couple more days.
Our neighborhood -- no, cancel that, our city has a curfew now, so if you're out after 8 p.m. without a really good excuse, as the sheriff said on the radio, YOU GO TO JAIL. He spoke in all caps like that. And then called looters bad names.
I'm sleepy pretty much all the time now. The house is fine -- earlier on, someone had mentioned houses made of bricks? Ours is what we call "CBS construction," made out of cinder blocks. It just occurred to me over the weekend that that's standard construction here -- so as someone else pointed out, it really is the roof that matters.
Ours is fine.
Gotta go write something now. |
