text: Mostly, after the last three days, I am feeling gratitude.
  My apartment complex lost either Comcast internet/tv or power or both for most of it. Yet I was able to take an LTD bus to get around, and go to the library, and felt that there were a lot of folks working a lot of hours making sure my neighbors and I were ok. 
  Also, and it happens at least once a winter, I get a reminder that I am terribly addicted to the digital world. No internet, no tv...in the old days that would have been funny. But with my phone dependent on internet, with my streets littered with dangerous overhanging limbs, without LTD I would have really been immobile. 
  So thanks to those in the community who worked and are working, to make our lives safer.
  Rethinking my total dependence on internet phone. 
  And a special thanks to those who keep Egan going,  including the agencies that help fund it. To sleep in a car or in a tent in this weather is to tempt death.
