Ike-Carumba!

Day Six....no power.

However, like chariots descending from Heaven, seven Centerpoint Energy trucks entered our neighborhood at 9 am this morning. As of 6 pm, it looks like they are attaching a new power line, thereby reattaching us to the outside world, very soon, I pray!

Thanks to the wireless connection at the taekwondo school, I can continue my blog! Here are a few hurricane photos for your viewing pleasure.



Damage at the Dixie property. Although they primarily are in the business of moving freight, they dabble in agriculture. The poor ginny hens lost their home and are now classified as "free range"! Fred offered Corbin and two of his buddies $10.00 for each hen they could catch. Not one of them went home any richer.





It's 5:00 somewhere, right?

I'd say to just to be with out power at your house, the Fontana's have faired Ike pretty well!! Sorry to hear about the damage at Freddie's business!!

Tell Corbin not to feel bad about not being able to catch the hens, his country cousins know first hand that it is much harder than it looks!! HA
