It's definitely been an interesting week thus far. After having a Catagory 1 hurricane force winds hit us the day after Ike in Texas, most of Cincinnati was left without power on Sunday afternoon. And Monday and some people still don't have power. Like my office of employment. I have yet to work this week. (Darn!) This may have been a good thing, because there are only so many gas stations with electricity and they are running out of fuel. Luckily the grocery and bank finally reopened.

With the number of trees split down their middles and landing on houses and cars, all over the roads, for a little while on Sunday it looked as though we had been hit by a hurricane. Just without the water.
