Well we had a bad storm here and lost power, and water for 3 days. On top of that I lost my internet connection for a week. No I didn't die or anything, or have been ignoring you all. I spent a long time troubleshooting the later only to find out the problem was at THEIR end, duh! I've been busy taking classes to expand my career, and fixing cars. I never remember big power outages like this when I was a kid, at the most it would be out for a day, but I guess the power companies are cutting corners too. Well halloween is coming up and that means lots of fun as always. Parties, going to the zoo (or anywhere) dressed up, decorating pumpkins, candy apples, ect, but mainly dressing up, haha! What do you folks do for halloween? I just hope Christmas doesn't interfear with Halloween, The trouble is it seems to start earlier every year. It's a good holiday for the kids but I always find Christmas depressing, and a major bother.
