Grocery stores are opening up…long check out lines, but everyone was cordial and cooperative. I was able to pay with my debit card and keep my cash on hand for places that may not be able to take electronic methods of payment.
Gas stations are getting up and going, and as of just an hour ago (4:30 p.m.) there weren’t even lines to speak of.
I’m still without power, but have had water all along.
People in the neighborhood have been working hard clearing debris and helping each other with downed trees.
It appears that we’re slowly but surely getting our feet back under us.
As of today, I’m spent. All I can say is THANK HEAVENS for the cool front…we deserved this beautiful weather after Ike’s battering.
Looking forward to a good night’s rest….as soon as we all turn off the generators
