An office is where your computer (and interent) is

I feel as if we're living on the fringe of an apocalypse. Ike's "afterbirth" (as I call it) stirred up a Category 1 hurricane through Cincinnati, an area that is about 700 miles from the nearest coast. 850,000 people are without power. 85mph winds knocked down trees, ripped off roofs and -- in an area that wouldn't imagine experiencing these types of winds -- mass chaos ensued. Gas stations closed. Grocery stores closed. School closed. Lines form in every store with power, and supplies of food and gas are running out.

 

The past 2 days I've had to work from our bathtub because its the only place in the house that I get a wireless signal (thanks to a neighbor who has a different internet provider). Thankfully, somehow, we still have electricity. I might go out there and see if I can't document some of it.
