Well, sort-of here. I am back on my secondary backup power cord, which seems to have some sort of voltage issues and occasionally shorts out / makes my computer blink angrily at me. But it will keep me going until I decide what to do for a long-term fix.

Survived the hurricane, too! We didn't even lose power beyond a few flickers. Spent the evening in a hammock chair out on the screen porch, which I can definitely recommend as a venue for watching a storm. When poking around the neighborhood today, and the only extensive damage seems to be the old outhouse behind the crumbling 1920s farmhouse in the woods, which was crushed utterly by a falling tree.

I am also - okay, some of you may remember my post from about a year ago, when I made a post talking about over a dozen fake-news-topical-comedy type shows that I follow, some more casually than others. This week? The week when Tripoli fell to the rebels, New York City got hit by both an earthquake and a hurricane, Nick Clegg got hit by paintballs, and Toronto got covered in memorial chalk? All of them are currently on break. Yes, even the Canadian and Australian ones. (Well, the Bugle sort of had a new episode, if you count a half-awake episode that was mostly a pre-taped stand-up show and only vaguely 'current events'.) There is no-one to reassure me that it is okay to make cynical jokes about what has happened, and convince me that it will all be okay! Whatever shall I do?

So instead, I spent my hurricane listening to old episodes of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar and making ( an awesome hat. )

Anyway: yesterday before the hurricane there was yard sailing. because it had been too long! and there was one that was not cancelled, and I'm glad we went, because I forgot how awesome their book prices are:
