Katrina aftermath

We dodge one big bullet this time with Katrina in Fort Lauderdale. Even though we suffer 3 days without electricity we really did not have too much damage in our home. It took us 5 solid hours to clear all the debris from the yard and clean the pool of some of the leave. We spend one night at a friends home in Boca Raton, second night at another friends condo here in Fort Lauderdale. The first night we stayed home thinking that the lights were returning soon. Well that was pretty horrible, the temperature got to 86 degrees in the room, making pretty uncomfortable for sleeping. It is horrible how spoiled we are. I am originally from Cuban and I bet I have sleep in hotter conditions, but never complaint; here I am now a grown man and can not handle the least bit of discomfort when it comes to heat. One thing about this experience without power has been my tremendous fun for reading that has emerged from this lack of power. I have read two books and can not stop reading the third. I had missed TV but not as bad as I had thought I would. It was also fun to be away from the computer a bit. Gave you guys a rest from all this shit I write. Tuesday we go to New Jersey again for some family stuff. Looking forward to our visit our condo in Ocean Grove. Will report from there later.
