Hope all is still well PPM.
Just saw some Asheville flooding footage on the Canadian news and immediately thought of you.

My heart breaks at the devastation that my fellow North Carolinians–as well as people in other states–have suffered. I hope that you and your wife will stay safe. My thoughts are with you.

James Pagan – I hope things were milder in your area! We were lucky. I’ve not seen any news coverage yet, which probably helps!

I was wondering how you were doing, then I remembered you have a popular music page so figured I’d check in here! I see you posted on the 30th, glad to know you’re both still upright. Let me know if I can do anything.

Bert Whetstone – We have it good. Bought generator to operate fridge and well pump and power mains were on by last night. Yard is still a mess. Several trees down that aren’t in a rush to go anywhere. More concerned with pine needles and branches down where copperheads can hide away. But apart from no internet/phone, everything seems deceptively normal. My loved one bought groceries yesterday. Our whole neighborhood pulled together like champs. We’re a pretty tight bunch on our mountain road. Maybe 26 households.
On the ground here one’s eyes see an inspirational story. Mile long convoys of federal aid storming in if you’re on the roads. Search and rescue teams still flowing in to reach people who live very remotely. The Feds are on this!
Things are worse in the city because Asheville had a century + old water infrastructure that was grossly inadequate prior to this and now it’s not even there. We’ve been joking that with no clean water there’s no liquid gold to fuel the craft beer renaissance!

At last, our tax dollars at work for a good cause!
Very glad to know you are “basically fine, could be better though …” and relieved that your “cell” suffered no permanent damage.
I hope especially that over time you might get a better road out of all this. Your old one was pretty good but clearly not victorious against the flooding.
I confess I’m surprised you didn’t change the blog-down message to “PPM is a little under the weather right now …” :)
Also: shout out to your friendly, helpful neighbours. They know the meaning of “community!”

chasinvictoria – Our road is a constant struggle to maintain. As you may be aware, my loved one is the president of the road association that maintains it. I’m also on board as secretary. It’s a 1.5 mile private road that the residents pay to maintain. Inadequately, since we’d have to charge $70/month dues (we currently charge $30, which is unrealistically low, but at least we have almost total participation now) to even begin thinking of making inroads with it.
With a third of the road falling away, we’ve already registered with FEMA to investigate and the inspector is due here by early next week. If it fully collapses, then half of the residents won’t be able to access their homes. Sanitation trucks cannot pass in its current state.
On a more musical note, we are sad to see that the two tickets we’d bought to two different showings of the Eno generative documentary scheduled for this week cannot happen as the arts cinema we’d booked was in the River Arts District… which is no longer there! The other arts cinema was only having a single showing but is downtown and closed due to the lack of running water.
