Many thanks to all for the kind comments!

Compared to the problems of our fellow citizens further south, our problems up here are more inconvenience than serious and we'll make it just fine.

Anyone that wants to help the victims of the hurricane should contribute to the American Red Cross:

I've been away from thecnology for a while and did not get all of this sooner...

It's terrible. My thoughts are with all of you out there. be safe.

[petemoore]

I'm happy.
 I'm able to have TV and cool breeze,
 I went to work today.
 Many people came to work also, some were bitting about conditions, which IMO aren't bad where I work at all. ...
 I mentioned something about physical and mental suffering with anxieties about survival.
 Mine is not the best shoulder to whine on.
 I suppose you'd rather be [I described a picture, taken near the Astrodome].
 I'm very sad at many things, some of the important conditions I'm aware of exaserbate my deep concerns.

Glad you are okay, Jack. We went without power for 3-4 days last year during the hurricanes and it's a bitch... (Got a generator this year.)

Hang in there,

Doug

Yeech. I'm too new here to really know Jack Orman, but it's things like this that remind me how nature doesn't discriminate.

I'm glad you're okay, and I hope everything in your life recovers from this disaster.

First, I was happy to read Jack is ok.

Second, The overwhelming impression I get from watching the agonzingly slow rescue and recovery is that the people dealing with this tragedy the most are those who didn't have the means to get themselves out before the storm hit.  They were left to fend for themselves and find that five days later, they're still waiting for help.  We can find a way to flood the area (pardon the expression) with media and news cameras, but can't seem to get any (or enough) buses in to get people out.  There's discrimination, alright, just not from Katrina.  I'm embarrassed for my country.

Sorry if I'm being a downer.

Too many cameras and not enough food..."

Non-sexual voyeurism at it's finest, huh?  :roll:

I have to admit that it is still hard for me to believe all of this, but it's sinking in - the shock is wearing off now.

For the second time in less than a month, we have had a close pass by a major hurricane...

The wind seemed to be blowing at a higher sustained rate this time but the gusts were not as strong. Much more rain this time, but I'm in a high area so there was no flooding.  I drove through a couple of streets yesterday where the water was hubcap deep. Power was only out for 24 hours this time, but that is a major inconvenience as you can imagine.  There are some trees down around town, and lots of branches/debris in the roads.  Shortages of gasoline, bags of ice and bottled water.

The power goes out when I have a box of new pedals to test, and UPS is tranporting some pcbs that I ordered....  Will winter ever get here?   

regards, Jack

Thanks for updating the forum Jack on your status.  Hope you're free and clear from here on. BTW I've just read some of your lab notes and they're wonderful.

actually about donations.. i decided after reading this forum[previously about the Tsunami and over at Keeleys page] to talk to a couple of my Clients and ask them if they would take a blank Jungle Kat  and have everyone on the tour sign it.  they said yes and as soon as it is fedexed back to us it will be photo'ed and auctioned off as well as the pictures of it with the Nashville Artists.  It seems  Mary has family in LA too.
