Please don't be mad at me (I am the "bad" one).
Let me tell you the story behind this title.
On the Belgium radio there is a morning show that looks at actual things but in a satirical way. We got the news about the Hurrycane Isabel that she in the end wasn't THAT violent but extremely "wet" instead (I don't know if it' s the actual truth, it was on the radionews).
So the guys of the show ask the audience to "invent" a newspaper "Headline" for a "C-class-tabloid-newspaper".
This one was the winner.
I'm sorry but I laughed crazy!

Please accept it also as a kind of masking for the worries I have for you at the other side of the pond. We don't have such things over here. So please let us know if you all are allright?!

Paul the bad one

Doing fine here. Lost power for around 16 hours, no major damage. Thanks,

We haven't had electricity or running water in my town in Delaware (near Philadelphia in the USA) since Thursday 9/18 at 2000 EDT. Thankfully, the stench for the refrigerator is masking the more personal odors. The word is that we won't have power for at least another day or 2.

One piece of good news: my battery-powered Raven Labs PHA-1 headphone practice amp is running strong, and the complete lack of electrical noise means that my old Series basses are as quiet as can be!

For Paul and our international Alembicians, I would say this: what's the difference between a hurricane and a good kick in the ass? The kick in the ass will make your friends laugh.

Woo-oosh guys, brothers and sisters. I'm so glad you're ok!
The stories went more bnadly later that day over here in Belgium about that Isabel thing. 18 people died actually.
Great to hear from you.
Take good care, for you and for your beloved.
We cannot help but in mind we're right next to you!
