I am still amazed at the devastation. Is that first picture from the dock that you were talking about the other night? I see the "sander" line that you were talking about. Amazing. What a hell of a mess.

Unbelievable pics Les, the damage is almost incomprehensible.

The nightmares are starting all over again... This really sucks... I had 2 hours of sleep and then had to sit in 93 degree sunshine terminating fiber optic cable... I decided to take the next 2 days off and recoup....

Les take some anxiety medicine and although short term it will give you a little rest. Meg and Ryan having the same problem ? Friend this is quite normal...

Lexopam, small tiny white pill. take a 1/2 of ojne and it will knock you out. must be careful as it can get addicting. If the problem persists then Ambien but it is spendy. both of course you need a docs recommendation

Get some rest and find something to do that will help take your mind off of it. I know there is plenty to do, but you need to get some downtime as well. You have been running full tilt for over a week.

The wife and son and handling this better than I am, but then again, I ended up going through alot more so......

Sad thing is I have to go out of town for the next 4 weeks or so... Ill be leaving on Monday and my wife is thrilled to say the least... I SHOULD be home on weekends, but that never seems to pan out...

I have some Serzone that works on nerves and that wonderful chemical imbalance u get when under alot of stress... I think ill start poppin some and unwind...

Either that or spark up a doobie and puff my troubles away..... Got a spare blunt Pisis???

Dittoes here, Les. I have offered it before and that offer is still good. You guys need a place to get away for a while, you are welcome in our home. We'll make room for you.
