and next door, and the house next to that. It's the same tree.

Thusly, I have no power, phone, or cable tv. Thusly, no servers, no nightly builds, no email. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did take photos. I took over 200 photos, but my servers are down (at least until I get home) so I don't have anywhere to post them.

Fortunately, my ISP kicks butt, so I can log into my email there. It doesn't have all my filters and folders (and no archives), but I can pretend to be up to date. Heh.

Okay, so no photo, but maybe this ASCII art will help:
Tree: ===================================***

I didn't sleep very well last night - it was too quiet in my room without the steady thrum of multiple computers constantly running.

I'm a little loopy today.

And crabby.

Whew.

jmullan, well, at least you are alive, and can play lumberjack!

I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay,
I sleep all night and I work all day.
Chorus: He's a lumberjack and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch,
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shopping

And hav
e buttered scones for tea.
Mounties: He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch,
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.
Chorus: He's a lumberjack and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees, I skip and jump,
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing,
And hang around in bars.
Mounties: He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps,
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing,
And hangs around in bars.
Chorus: He's a lumberjack and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees, I wear high heels,
Suspendies and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear pappa.
Mounties: He cuts down trees, he wears high heels?
Suspendies...and a bra?
...he's a lumberjack and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
...he's a lumberjack and he's OKAAAAAAAAAAYYY.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

It just wouldn't be right if I didn't have an album of photos in my gallery, so, here are a bunch:
