It figures, everything happens when I have absolutely no way to get online! :)

On Sunday, very high winds came through Columbus, whether they were remnants of one of the southern hurricanes is debateable, but either way, many trees came down, and much of the city was without power. Luck determined who had it, and who didn't--a friend's bookstore had power, but she didn't at home, and neither did any of her family or employees. :)

My power was out for twenty seven hours, and I lost a few pieces of my garage roof (if only the damned thing had blown down, I could build a new one!) As it is, the thing is not worth putting any major funds into fixing, since it's nearly a century old and leaning into the alley behind it.

Anyway, we will all miss PMT--and I thought his wealth was a challenge...perhaps he will make an occasional post visiting Rome or contacting agents? I have the details of his new pc--Aulus Caecilius Dolabella, and this time, he's giving the patrician game a chance.

The new reps sound great Mark--and I can't wait to get a peek!

Restart still set for mid-October.
