I forgot you were from Memphis. I would have asked about you. How is
everything? So your power is back on now? The Gibson Lounge is my parents'
favorite place in Memphis and it's destroyed. Fleetwood Mac cancelled the
show at the Pyramid, that's too bad. I had a couple of friends that had
tickets; I'm sure they're ticked.

I'm glad to hear that your tank survived. What did you do for circulation?
One day my power went out and I stirred the tank with a big wooden spoon.

You know I had to leave on vacation the next day. I just had a
friend come by and top off both tanks daily. The power was out from
tuesday morning until late sunday nite, 5 days total. I think I was
just lucky..........the starfish and percula were in one 20 gal with
2 snails, and the 29 gallon had 2 damsels and 2 snails. The snails
are fine, the damsels look a bit stressed, but the percula has good
color and seems none the worse for it.

The Gibson lounge is toast. We had a limb that got our porch roof,
but it is just a bit split. No water damage. But as I live in
midtown there were trees down everywhere. It is still a mess.
