Well, I've tried to leave a blog for you to let you know where I've been like 4 times now, but between the lightning cutting off my computer and the Windows updates, I have lost the entire blog once again.  I may have to wait until tomorrow to type it in again, or at least wait until the thunder storm passes.  I'm tired of typing the same approximate blog over and over now, though, so I'll watch for when the storm passes on Doppler radar at least.
