Obviously I was MIA all weekend because our house was without electricity for about 40 hours. Our internet connection is still non-functional, so I’ll only be able to post from work until power comes back. My wife and I stayed warm with candles, and stayed busy doing yard work, wrapping presents, and playing our DS Lites (I had the foresight to charge them fully Thursday night before we lost power). I was able to keep our tropical fish alive by insulating their tank with towels and putting an oil lamp inside the stand underneath the tank.

Let’s hear your wild storm stories.

Update: Since commenting has been pretty light lately, I’m going to go back to having just four open threads per week. After Christmas and New Year, I’ll probably bring back the Tuesday and Thursday open threads.

FYI, I may try to switch over to the new version of Blogger this weekend, which will likely result in a few hours of downtime. I’ll try to do it tonight when the least amount of viewers will be affected.

Update: Well that’s dumb. I guess I won’t be switching over to the new Blogger right now after all, because when I try to, I get this message:

Could not switch you to the new Blogger

Thanks for your interest in the new Blogger in beta! Unfortunately, we cannot switch your Blogger account at this time, because one or more of your blogs cannot be moved.

Then why’d you give me the link to switch when I logged in?
