Well, we made it out all right. Had power & phones until 9am today. Still no phones (land line) or power, but hopefully it will only be a matter of hours and not days to come back up. And again, the COX cable did not go out so we can still communicate along with the handy dandy emergency electrical generator. The PhillyCam is up and running under generator power. I'm seriously considering changing my phone service as well to the cable.
Conditions aren't bad right here right now, with 40mph winds from the south, and the rain has stopped. All bridges are still closed but expect to be opening later today or until they can be properly inspected. Philly's will remain closed until the power comes back on.

Iraqi constitution is signed, to go to a public referendum in October this year. Good news. Would have been better if the Sunnis had signed on to it, but as it is it is now supported by the 80% of the Iraqi people. Lest we forget, in our own development, there were several states that didn't sign on to our own constitution. Taken into context, Iraq is nothing like Vietnam, it is taking a positive step forward. Draft constitution signed but rejected by Sunnis [Telegraph News | Breaking News]

I didn't know Venezuelan communist leader (dictator) Hugo Chavez was in so dire straits that Rev. Jesse Jackson feels it important to stick up (no pun intended) for him. I wish he would pick a specialty, either you're going to perpetuate racial tensions in this country or you're going to attempt to embarrass and interfere with the Bush administration in any way possible. He doesn't miss the opportunity to blur a racial component against the administration and for a half-baked dictator.
Rev. Jackson Lends Support to Chavez (AP).  AP - The Rev. Jesse Jackson offered support for President Hugo Chavez on Sunday, saying a call for his assassination by a U.S. religious broadcaster was a criminal act and that Washington and Venezuela should work out their differences through diplomacy.
