To quote a famous train "I think I can, I think I can..."

I just wanted to mention that I live somewhat in the track of an oncoming catagory 2 (possibly catagory 3 by landfall) hurricane. I don't know if or how much that will affect my internet access over the next several days, but if I disappear for a little while that is why. Hopefully it will not affect Orlando too much! I hope, I hope...

Since the eye of Hurricane Charley is likely to pass to the west of me, I expect to miss the worst of the destruction, but, as I said, I don't know what the storm will do to internet access, or power and phone connections in the area. Since we are on the "leading edge" of the storm they are predicting tornadoes and heavy wind and rain in my location.

Wish me luck!

Oh my!

Good luck Ealasaide, hope Charley isn't to rough with you!

May your roof and Internet access both remain intact! Good luck and I hope it doesn't get too spooky.

If things get dire, A matress over the bathtub should give you some protection. Jeebus, a cyclone can just ruin your whole day!

Good luck.

Thanks, everyone, for your kind thoughts and well wishes. As it turns out the storm made a direct hit over Orlando. The metro area is a mess - lots of power & phone outages, structure damage & trees down - but I made it through okay.

Thanks again for all of your kind wishes!
