I am well, though I am thinking you are the cause of my power outages because both times I was trying to comment on YOUR blog when the power went out. I am kind of scared to go back LOL!

Bel, I shut down our computer this morning, even with a surge protector
the storms can surge beyond a protector's defence (not joking)..when I was in insurance I heard more than one horror story along these lines (no pun or joke intended)..I shut everything off including the cable modem whenever there are severe storms in the area.
better to be overly cautious..

Whacky
I do have one but I am thinking between the horrible heat and humidity along with the one too many time of just shutting down without warning it became too much. It was an older computer as well.

I caught a little of the airshow, Bel, but they're across town, I may see
them. I don't know what it is, but they are awesome.

How are you Bel, I almost left you out of my checking-in on list
because I can't alphabetize.
We are getting a new computer too, but it's free. Himself built it at work. It's a G4, and he's put all sorts of hardware into it. We're giving the eMac to my in-laws.
Relax, have some chocolate, it always works.

Oh Blanche
I have always wanted to see the Blue Angels and it seems everytime they are in town I am busy or can't get tickets.

I almost wrote that same thing, Bel, lol
Mine just called from the road (my guy, that is, not my computer), and asked for directions. The Blue Angels are putting on an airshow during Seafair weekend. I love to watch the precision Navy F18 jets doingn their thing, but it plays hell on traffic. He's stuck in traffic.

It was brown out. I'm not sure, I guess I should call them and ask. But I still have that deductible, so I don't know.

Hopefully all of the bad, yucky stuff is out of the way and now you can move on to greener pastures!

I have a $1000 deductible on my homeowners. A computer costs way less than that these days.
