Still Getting Over Rita (The Bitch)

Spoke briefly to some Time Warner workmen hanging out around the poles in the neighborhood, asked if they'd get the drop lines back up today, and they gruntingly seemed to indicate they would. It's more sign of getting our cable back than has been seen in this neighborhood for a long time, so maybe we will! Sonofabitch, broadcast TV sucks so bad that it's just inexpressible!!!

Also spoke to relatives whose houses were more damaged than I knew. Makes me feel crummy to complain about mere cable. But we each complain about what we've got. If we don't have much real trouble, we complain about that.
