It hit the power pole just outside my house. I (and three of my neighbors) lost absolutely everything except the address book on e-mail. Please re-send anything you sent to me during the last couple of weeks. Thanks. Jack COMPUTER DISPLAY Dianna's Note: I'm taking a survey - let me know how the newsletter and webpages display on your computer and any problems you have and I'll try to make adjustments; I know that such items display differently on different computers, monitors, etc.; the text size setting can make a difference as well. I do a lot of "copy & paste" and sometimes coding is probably being picked up that's not apparent on my computer. COME DANCE WITH US!
