Shawn calls as I am five minutes from the office this morning. The phone company has broken the water main on the main road and a river is pouring around and into our office. Waiting for the disaster crew to come and clean up the mud so we can get back to packing.

Just wait - the Department of Public Works is on the way to screw-up the phone service.

Thanks to quick thinking by Shawn nothing much got damaged but the building. Working out of our old floody basement in our house for 16 years makes us just naturally set things up off the floor unless they are in a plastic tub. We now have to sit in here with about 9 blowers and two dehumidifiers running 24/7 for several days. Carpet is ripped out in the hallway along with baseboard molding, and some exterior walls will get opened up next. Coulda been a lot worse. By about 3 we were able to get into the packing room to get some work done, though only one package made the UPS pickup today. Should be some Stereomour, Eros, Smack, Quickie, PJCCS, S.E.X., Seduction and Seduction C4s kits going out in the next day or two.
