Ike was our first experience here, we did not have any damage [we were some of the lucky ones] worst part was not being able to communicate to our families back home to let them know we were ok, a friend from Aberdeen sent a tx to my work's blackberry and I asked them to contact our families.

I am lucky that I can work my own hours, I come in really early around 5 or 5.30 and can leave at 3pm...and I ride the 290 feeder road home at that time it is not too bad.

What type of puppy are you getting?

Rhodesian Ridgeback. She's 8 months old. I've never had a dog before but my wife has.

Re: the phone situation. Get a Vonage phone at home. It has a free feature if the power is out (and the internet is not available to your house), it will forward all calls to another number - your cell phone. You can also log in from your cell phone and change settings. Never lost touch with the family - charged the phone in the car. When everything is working, calls to the UK are free!

Oh, they are beautiful dogs, you must send me photos.

We do have Vonage [free calls to land line in the UK, so I can talk as much as I like], was not aware that calls could be diverted to cell phones etc., thanks for the info.
