Journal AyeRoxor!'s Journal: And so Hurricane Season officially starts...
It feels like it just ended, but here we are again. Where I am in Tampa, my power was out for 3 days last season. I've lived in the Tampa Bay area for over 15 years and never has my power been out for any length of time expressable in an integer value of days. But I dont consider myself a wimp by any manner of the term. My car doesnt have AC and I dont really care. 95 degrees is not out of the range of human survivability. So being without power wasn't exactly a life-changing experience. What I do worry about in storms is, duh, my electronics. Over the years in Tampa, a UPS takes a beating, and it just so happens that both my media center UPS and my computer UPS died within a few months of each other last year. Each had had the battery changed once, but they just weren't as capable with the new battery. Maybe the charging components start to wear down. I dont know. But I just went out and grabbed a 500va for my computer and a 350va for the media center, so we're ready to go.
As for the MP3 player, that's kind of taken a back seat to other stuff, but its completion ought to be soon. Happy 4oJ everyone. May God bless America, and may He bless the people in our government who keep claiming through word, but not through deed, to seek His wisdom.
