F*@& YOU, IKE!!!

That sucked, and still sucks, major ass! Living without power and water... that gets really old, really quickly. I think I lost 15 pounds last night just from sweating... that's a lot of fun when trying to sleep for the first time in three days. But hey, A/C or not, it was great to be home after 31 straight hours at work. However, it was not great to have to almost immediately turn around and come back to work... but at least I only have to work 12 hours days every day for what's likely to be close to two weeks. I shouldn't complain too much... we have power and A/C at work... and they are feeding us with some measure of regularity. My car now won't start, but hopefully some dry conditions and the passage of time will remedy that. My almost brand new half-gallon of Pecan Pralines 'n Cream Blue Bell is a complete loss, but I still have a roof over my head and family and friends are safe... and for that, I am very thankful.

By the way, if any of you are offered the opportunity to shoot several live shots outside in the teeth of a hurricane eyewall passing through your part of town, I'd advise taking a pass. Trust me.
