Yes, we are back up and running — and well ahead of the rather pessimistic schedule that had been issued by the power company.

Thanks to all the heroes who worked so tirelessly through the storm and beyond, and are still going strong to finish the job.

And posthumous thanks to Benjamin Franklin for foolishly going out in that thunderstorm; to Thomas Edison for the electric light bulb; and to Willis Carrier, who brought the world air-conditioning in 1902.

Our inconvenience was nothing compared to what a lot of folks are going through as a result of Hurricane Helene. My best wishes to them for a speedy return to their normal lives.
