Just got a cell-phone call from Peter over at Bayou Renaissance Man — he’s okay, but Gustav has knocked out the local phone service, with the local power grid probably to follow, so blogging from thataway is going to be scarce for a bit.

He says that the winds are gusting fairly smartly, but not nearly as bad as they had feared, with intermittent annoying rain.

Stay frosty, Peter.
