finally... not quite back, but semistable

*Waves from a 20ft airstream camper trailer.* Ok I'm obviously alive, not well, but alive! Ike ran me over with a building so not exactly th more breaks and bruises since I was still healing from the traffic accident earlier this summer so I feel like shit. I'm using my compy and a uh 'borrowed' wifi connection the neighbors house. as well as some loaned energy from a generator so got net, compy, a fridge/freezer and a micro washer/dryer for luandry to use as well as propane to cook with so I'm doing good in that regard. even have water so I can take a shower and wash my clothes finally, not much of them remaining but I can wash them! I'm borrowing a car since mine got washed away with my laptop at work. Hoping the insurrance gets me a new car or at least enough to pay for one since my boss has denied paying me for the whole weekend i got stranded atop a building at work. Did take a couple of days till a few people boated me out since no power for cell, and no cell towers period means me be one stuck bastard.
mre's taste good surprisingly and I've uh become semi-addicted to them.
Power's coming back on in la porte, albeit slowly atm as half the neighborhoods are still on portable generators or going to kemah for all their supplies ice/mre's/water since harris county closed the pods in this area. as for my now former boss I've gotten a lawyer and am in the process of filing a lawsuit against him right now. I'm working with another security company atm that had me rush back to work for them last week so making money at least, and using cash i had on paw to pay for the gasoline my generator and borrowed 93 saturn coupe sucks up atm. I'm in serious need of a new car or better yet a truck or suv right now for getting around town in as I've had to replace 3 tires on the tiny assed car from all the debris at these jobsites i'm going to. The news does no justice to the damage you see. These towns resemble debris strewn warzones more then neighborhoods as one of the recalled nat guardsmen put it. at that's pretty much acurrate. I got cell net now as of the past thursday so I can check my messages offline, of which their were all of two people to even attempt to reach me via email/yahoo im, or cell calls period.
I'll post piccies once I pick up a digicam tomorrow just so ya'll can see what would've happened if I had actually stayed home...
But for now... this'll give you an idea... this piccie is SeaBrook, tx. right besides ShoreAcres/La Porte, tx where I was living at the time... it's a 10 minute drive along the coastal road from my house to that street...
