The Power Is Back

No, not me!

The power in my little town after Hurricane Henriette passed closed by.

Now all I have left is Tornadoes and a Volcano actually erupting, Locusts….and Frogs. I have been in earthquakes, blizzards, sandstorms, lightning storms and lived on or near two active volcanoes. It’s not my fault they didn’t erupt while I was there! In any case I have now been close enough and the effects severe enough to have claimed to have been in a hurricane, so my collection of phenomena is proceeding apace! It was just a small hurricane and the eye was (I think) abouth thiry mile s away so it was dramatic, but not very serious.

On the bad news front, I still have no power at my house and the guy who is supposedly working on it is not to be found. Without power, the satellite guy can’t hook me up. So I have read a Tim Powers book and am in the middle of a Tomm Robbins book…all by either sunlight or candlelight, and have been spending a lot of time drinking iced Pacifico. Oh and since my laptop battery gets used up pretty quick, writing the autobiographical section of my book in longhand, by candlelight, during a hurricane. Sometimes it is way fun being me….other times, well, not so much!

Which brings us to my major non-funish thing right now….The Launch! I fret.

I have pretty much decided that we will launch tomorrow….even if I have to do it from here at the internet cafe. I feel like it is sort of unfair to all you guys to hold it up waiting for me to be ready.

What think you?

Are we ready? Are you guys as chompy at the bit as I am? Or am I just being impatient…should we take our time and wait until all systems are go?

I will pop back over here tonight top pick up any answers.

In the meantime….Howdy everybody! I read the othe thread and am very glad that you all missed and it is cool that we have new people wandering in! A cople of specific replies….and garden, welcome! And en garde! Skrpy…..who says I WANT to control the weather….that hurricano was cool!

  1. Glad to hear from you.  I don’t think we are ready yet.  We’re still working out the colors and Google hasn’t approved our site for Ads yet.  It would be nice to launch Monday so we can get this place tightened up over the weekend.  I want to avoid making major changes once we launch.  Don’t want to disconcert our visitors. 

    So don’t fret. We have momentum building just a few days more is all we need. And hopefully you’ll be connected by then too. 

  2. Take a look at my life and you can already figure out that I flunked the Book of Dead test last time.  I suppose you’ll launch when the universe is prepared 😉

    It’s groovy over here. New life forms may proliferate even.

  3. Living off the land and eating beetle sandwhiches? I could fed-ex you some Corky’s BBQ unless you are a vegetarian in which case there would be large amounts of slaw n beans. Glad to hear you are well.

      1. If we all bask in the self-reflected brilliance gathered here,…..we could become an alternative energy source!
