This is not only Memorial day weekend for me, but also Thanksgiving Day. My only child, a daughter, lives in Guatamala where she works for a subsidiary of Microsoft. As you probably know the last week has been rather chaotic there. Volcanoes and then a tropical storm on top of that. I've been unable to get thru to her at all. Phones were out and even the internet wasn't working. Needless to say I've been worried sick. She called a few minutes ago and said she was pretty much alright. She lives 15 miles from the nearest volcano. She said the rain from the tropical storm was washing the ash out the air, so it was raining mud. This is probably not the proper thing to be posting, but I'm so relieved that I had to tell everyone. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. Gene
