George got power back on last night.  He's lucky as several others on 
his street are still w/o power.

International is on the site but there will be no edition for this 
week's repeater version.  The storm was unexpected and George wasn't 
able to get anything out for prep before the storm hit and he lost 
power.  He says his power's going to be up and down as utility work 
continues thru weekend.

He and family are okay.  They stayed with family that had power during 
outage.

Next week's version may be doubled up due to the missing week.  We shall 
see.

Podcast for international to be posted shortly.
