absent from my home

[Festus]

Some of you may or may not have noticed my absence from Sylvan over the last week or so. Sadly I may be absent for longer.  My house took a pretty hard hit from an electrical surge when a major transmission Line and a house size transformer blew up not to far from our house durring a storm.   Aparently the surge was more than my surge protector could handle and we lost a few apliances as well as my desktop computer suffered some type of damage.  How bad my comp is I dont know yet as it is lower on priority list than clean clothes and something to keep us warm and cool.  The electric company is denying any fault stating that I must have an issue within my house system.  It seems i cant make them understand that no mater what I do in my house I cannot INCREASE VOLTAGE TO MY PLUGINS.  My surge system is good enough to meet standards for warentees on stuff but aparently not enough to sustain itself when taking a hit from a major transmission line without a transformer to reduce the voltage and amperage.  I have a few neighbors that are having the same issue as me. 

I assure you all I am doing all I cAN to get back up and running on sylvan.  I will try to replace a few parts this week on my desktop and see what happens.
I miss ya'll and especially you Will Parish. 
cyA ALL SOOOOOON I HOPE
