As a courtesy to us Americans, they will run a generator at night so an air conditioner can run in our room at night. Otherwise, no power is a way of life for them.<BR/><BR/>I was inconvenienced for a few days. Many here in the Houston area will be inconvenienced for weeks. However, we all know that eventually the power will be back and convenience will be back. <BR/><BR/>There are people in this world that don't even dream of such luxuries as electricity or refrigeration.<BR/><BR/>We are so blessed.<BR/><BR/>TonyTonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404061538931018780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7044217384247326845.post-19095638163907511052008-09-16T14:01:00.000-05:002008-09-16T14:01:00.000-05:00I an so glad you are okay.
