HURRICANED

I'm trying to enjoy what are likely my last few hours of Internet access for awhile. Hurricane Ivan is on its way, and power will almost certainly be lost. At church a member who works for the power company assures us that when power goes off, it won't be coming back on for a while. Because of the recent hurricanes in Florida no lineman are coming here as normally would. He said a storm this size usually would call for 5000 lineman. They have 350. Surely preachers get priority, right?

In the meantime we're stocking up on non-perishables. A trip to Walmart included the purchase of both turkey Spam and spray cheese.

My four year old asked when that "hairy thing" was going to get here. I think she had it about right.
