Howdy, Neighbor!
I regret that I've been unable to post anything recently, but I'm proud to say my homework was eaten by something slightly bigger than my puppydog. The absence, of course, was caused by the recent visit of everyone's favorite party-crasher, Hurricane Charley. At first, we were without power, but since Sunday my main complaint has been the lack of an Internet connection. Now that this has been rectified, I'm glad to finally have the opportunity to pop up from my hiding place and report that I've met someone with even more hot air than yours truly.
While Charley himself left a trail of devastation in his wake, he did give some of us the excuse to finally say a few words to and get to know our neighbors. And while we had power but no 'net, my daughter whittled away some time by digitally weaving a montage of pictures of our post-cyclone homestead, with an appropriate musical accompaniment. (Broadband recommended for download, since it's around 4 MB.)
