Another Satellite Dish...gone!

Well the storm has come and gone. We were held hostage for 48 hours in our apartment while we endured the loud winds and buckets of rain. The power never went out so we were able to surf the net, listen to music and watch some DVD's. After the wind subsided, Elyce turned on the TV and got the blue screen. So you know what that means....Reggie has to go to the roof to check on the satellite dish. So I climbed the three flights of stairs and unlocked the roof access gate. I looked out to where our satellite dish is normally mounted and it wasn't there. Not only that, no one's was there. There's usually 4 satellite dishes on our roof. They were all gone. I took a survey of the surrounding neighborhood and noticed that there were a lot less satellite dishes out there than there normally is. I wonder where all these dishes went. Someone probably stepped outside of their front door to a pile of about a hundred satellite dishes this morning, ha ha. Oh well, we were thinking about switching to something different anyway, like Apple TV or that Slingbox thing.

TCCOR 1E!

        

Elyce and I are sitting in our little Japanese apartment sitting out our second major typhoon of the season. The first one was over the Memorial Day weekend and to be honest it was pretty scary. Our apartment made noises I didn't think a building could make. We heard glass shattering outside. The rain and wind beat on the windows like drums. It was Elyce's first typhoon experience and the worst I'd ever experienced. So now we are sitting and waiting to see what Typhoon "Muifa" is going to do. So far it hasn't been so bad. We both got off work early yesterday so that we could prepare for the storm. But so far it's just been a lot of wind and rain. I haven't seen any debri thrown around like the Memorial Day storm...not yet at least.
