Power!
Our power was restored a few hours ago.
A nice Centerpoint linesman who chatted with Callie earlier apparently felt sorry for us, and decided to bypass the line that was causing our power to be out. It didn't help folks still dependent on that branch line, but it did help quite a few homes on this side of it.
One more night of sleeping with windows open is in order, though. This weather is so nice. Here's hoping it holds for a while longer for people without power still.
UPDATE: Comcast internet is fine. Dish Network is fine (some dishes in the area got misaligned by the wind, but not ours thankfully). Woo!
UPDATE 2: Dish isn't quite fine. It needs to be re-aimed, as the signals is too weak on one sat and nonexistent on others. Hell, I was happy to see the thing still mounted on the roof after Ike! :)

Congrats. I, too, am loving this sleeping with the windows open, but it makes me have strange dreams where I'm repeating kindergarten and Paul Benedict/"Harry Bentley," the Englishman from "The Jeffersons" is speaking at my subsequent commencement and both my kindergarten teacher and my girlfriend both turn out to be pregnant by me...
