I am alive and well after Ike. We have no power still, so I am using Internet at another place.

Bunnies have invaded all the power stations.

Seriously, bunny stuff aside, are you okay?  Did your home and stuff make it without damage?

Family and friends all good?

Anti-bunny rantings will be on hold indefenitely. All the bunny stuff is really trivial right now for me.

Ike did a number on the refineries.  Mapco stations are having a serious supply pinch right now.

Yeah, it sure did. Ike is really disruptive.

Yup.  Most of the ones where I live (south of town) are still out or have reg gas only.  There are still a few Shell stations with no gas too.  Heard on the radio this morning that TN has the highest avg gas prices nationwide...$4.09.   :banghead:

That's even worse than here in Texas.

Our gas prices are higher than usual.  I'm seeing diesel and gas going well under $4 in most of the country, while we're still languishing above the four dollar mark.

Yeah, and all we got is about 0.05 inches of rain and a little wind Sunday morning.  Go figure.

Did your house survive unscathed?

We got a few sprinkles up here from Ike, but that was about it really. 

My family wasn't so lucky, most of their houses were flooded.

Normally, I would lash out at bunnies, but for the time being, I will let it pass. It would be disrespectful for the people who are struggling and lost loved ones from Ike.

I would go berserk over it, but will ignore that in light of Ike. It's really trivial for me.
