I have just returned from a visit to our office building and the good news is that we have electricity and phone service, although I am still concerned about our wireless Internet. Since there are hundreds of thousands in this area still without power, this is extremely lucky. The current plan is to spend this afternoon and tomorrow morning reassembling our office. We will be in the office beginning tomorrow morning (Friday) and prepared to help you with any pressing matters. Please bear with us until Monday, however, as we will undoubtedly be operating at something less than peak efficiency. Many of our employees still do not have electricity or water. Estimates from Florida Power & Light for some areas call power restoration anywhere from Nov. 15-22.
If you want to feel good about your day, consider Smart Marketing employee Harry Casimir who is stranded on the east coast of Florida. Yesterday he waited in line for gas for four hours only to be told there wasn't any. He called a few minutes ago to say that he has been in line since 5 o'clock this morning (six hours as I write this) in hopes of getting enough gas to get home tonight.
Glad you are okay. I enjoy reading your updates.
