Amy’s mom called about an hour ago. They just took Amy’s sister, her husband and their kid Mason (Amy’s 3-year-old godson, who sounds just like Meatwad) back to their house. Looks like some wind damage (some roof shingles are gone), but nothing major. Lots of lawn cleanup. No power at that house either, but houses a few streets over have had power restored, so it looks like it’s a matter of (brief) time.

And I’m serious about Kung-Fu Hustle. It’s really entertaining.

Amy & I were settling in to watch Kung-Fu Hustle last night when her parents called from home with an update. Cell coverage is much better in their area, but they’re still operating off the generator they brought back from Arkansas.

Strangely enough, even though gas prices up here in NJ have shot up to $3.30 for a gallon of regular, they seem to be around $2.60 down near them (about 15 miles from where they live). My only theories about this are

A) that there are still few cars returning down there, so there’s not much demand for gas; or

B) gas station owners and attendants are afraid of being shot to death if they start price-gouging.

Her parents reported that it’s hot and the mosquitoes are the only happy ones around, but it seems like everyone’s accounted for & safe.

And Kung-Fu Hustle was one of the most entertaining movies I’ve ever seen.
