We have Power

We have power! The kids were asleep and we went over to turn on the AC, make sure the fridge was going etc. We lent our neighbors our generator and they hailed us as we came home. We are taking the generator back toButch's to lend to Rochelle's Aunt who we got in contact with. The generator has now helped 3 families.

Butch just started a job (actually he starts on 9/15) in New Orleans.They are a domain registrar, a hosting site (Directnic.com) and several other web related business. One of the owners and the head IT geek are keeping things going. They have a blog with web cams at http://www.livejournal.com/users/interdictor/.

This is an absolute must read. 1st - the comments from the readers and the entire keeping up the generator and tweaking the circuits to maximize time are the most interesting and funny/useful comments I have read. 2ndly - it has info on all types of information including the downtown looting by some of the public servants.

Another good site to get the news that CNN is afraid to show is http://www.wdsu.com/. This is a New Orleans station operating out of Mississippi.
