Please send ice

Just another quick post before the behind busting begins. We're still on generator power, FPL is saying itll be weeks before all power is restored. It's a good thing that cold front came through, as if this were August, I'd be one pissed off Cuban. Luckily, it was 55 degrees this morning and cool through the night so there are no sleeping in a pool of your own sweat mood repercussions.

Before tackling the backyard fallen tree removal, Im heading out to Mom and Dad's, then the inlaws to make sure they are all OK and add some already tired muscle wherever needed. Every single bone, every single muscle, even my skin hurts from yesterday's travails.

Another thing I need to do today is go out on a quest for gas and cigs. Two very precious commodities right now as everything is closed.

Thanks again to all who kept us in their thoughts and prayers. Now we're off in search of provisions. Survivor aint got nothing on us.

I am happy that the storm didn't cause major damage. Yes, it's very hard to spend so much time cleaning the debris but once that is done, life will come back to normal. Hang on!

just think about what all that clean up exercise is doing for your health!

I'd say that's worth some lechon and a good beer.

Oye Valentin, I know this is kind of late but I hope everything's alright. I have some family down there, en Hialeah, y cada vez que pasa un ciclon el familion de NJ se vuelve loco. Bueno, suerte.

Good to hear you made it through. This cool weather is indeed a blessing. Good luck with the clean up efforts. :)
