Power came back to our neighborhood last night, but most of our community is still without electricity.

My wife spent the good portion of the day working in the yard. I joined her in the late afternoon so that I could run the chainsaw and get the larger branches and trees down to manageable size.

Fire Headquarters is still running on generator power. Interestingly enough, I had to work there today while preparing and sending out media releases. I have full power and internet access at home. At work I was working from an EV-DO card and shuffling files via flash drives to a computer that was hooked to a printer in our conference room. It would have been much more efficient to do this work from my home office, I think.
