For the past week I've been busy standing in gas lines and scrounging for canned food, water, and batteries. The C batteries I need for my radio have been in very short supply. So I have no idea what's been going on in the world outside South Florida.
A little while ago while I was cooking canned soup on a kerosene stove the power came back on, and much rejoicing was had by all. I ate quickly and rushed to my computer to find that, alas, my DSL is out. But I have soldiered on with my measly dial-up connection and of course the first place I go is DailyKos.
I gather Fitzy's held a press conference. I gather Libby's been indicted, but I don't see any mention of Rove. If someone could point me to a transcript of the press conference (no video, damn dialup!) that would be great. I wouldn't mind any general filling in of what's happened in the outside world this past week either.
I also don't know what's been reported about our situation here in America's Wang. I imagine Jeb and George have been holding press conferences. Half of my roof tiles are gone and several of my neighbors are sharing their bedrooms with trees. No one came to us for a photo-op. It's been dry since Wilma but the next time it rains we're all going to be very wet. I'm hoping FEMA is generous. We've got a $13,000 deductible on our homeowner's insurance, and we don't have $13,000 dollars to spare.
But please, fill me in! I've got a lot of crap here at home to deal with, and I'd love to hear news good and bad beyond my storm-ravaged area. Anything to get my mind off the bullshit of the past week and the bullshit yet to come.
