Clean-up begins

Luckily, we still haven't lost power -- unlike more than 600,000 other electrical customers across the state.

So, rather than worrying about how to survive, I went back to work and Bud started getting rid of our downed trees. We loaned our portable generator (purchased during our ice-storm power outage in 2003) to my boss, who hasn't had electricity since about 7 a.m. Wednesday.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we won't get any strong winds to further burden our ice-laden trees -- because we're really enjoying our electricity and the lack of holes in our roof.
