ninjababe, I took the laptop to a Starbucks to try and get a game to work. Ithidrial stated I had to download her email and make a post in order to go [g].
So, yes, we made it safe to Utah. On the day we left, at 730am, we were awakened by a loud 'crack'. Ith didn't think anything about it, since it's the beginning of the month and a lot of people move in at the beginning of the month, and our apartment is right on the parking lot.
Then, the saws started...
A two story plus tree that was in the parking lot between our apartment bulding and the next cracked in two down the middle. Pieces were all over the car port, the other side of our building, and it forced part of another tree onto the laundry building, which is next to us.
Yes, storm season had started.
Oh, and about the national coverage... We get storms like that every year, multiple times of the year. Trees fall, the power goes out, all that... This was just the first big one of the year.
So, it's pouring rain, and I'm loading the car... Had to actually change clothes because I got so soaked.
We decided we were lucky to be leaving the Monterey Peninsula that day, since the power was flickering all morning, and went out totally about half an hour before we left.
According to one of Ith's co-workers, the power in our area was only out for a few hours. However, Carmel and Pacific Grove had been without power for a day plus. But, that, again, is normal for this time of year...
So, this was your Ninjababe-Masquerading-as-Ithidrial update! :)

Hmmph...
Maybe I can get one on EBay?

The region 1 versions do have an uninstall program for the Dental Aggression 2K extension pack. If you'd like, I can make you a bootleg copy, upload it to Sendspace, and you could see if that works for you. But forget eBay; I think you can find a better deal on Craig's List.

Gotcha!
All this time you though I was jinxed_wood, mild mannered fanfic writer, but no, it is I, Inspector Clouseau, Interpol's most effective cyber-crime detective (copyright division)
Unhand that uninstall programme, you ninja-hacker you, before I seize your Interwebs, and mock you private email mercilessly on the Nine o’clock news!
[Insert evil cackle here, or...no...wait....]
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAaaaaaaaa!!!!
[Oh, God, pass me the black stuff, my brain is in need of resuscitation]

I'm glad you both made it to Utah safely.

I'm glad to hear you got to Utah safely - but did you then get caught in the snow? (And if you did, could you send it Philly way? We need snow!) Enjoy the trip, and very nice update.
