Power went out at

Power went out at 8 AM this morning. We've got a new generator in the hangar that we're running for the second time now. It supports all we do here, but is closer than the old one, so it's noisy here. We have to keep the larger hangar door on the north-west end closed while we are using it. The generator across the street is on now too, and that's keeping things in all our freezers from thawing out. The generator is running over at the Nate Saint school so the kids have light to work by. And the generator is running out in Makuma. Right now the e-smith http://www.thehoffmanfamily.com/ server is connected to our server here using the HF radio and modem. It's a slow connection, but it does bring them e-mail out in the middle of the jungle.
