From Paul Gutheil

Hi Buckles, Thanks for kind words while the wrath of God was being vested upon us. By his grace and mercy our little castle, our 8 huge maples and I survived unscathed, whereas right across and down the street people suffered alot of serious damage. I tried to drive around a little yesterday to see how things were and could not go down half the streets I wanted to. In 62 years in this town I've never seen anything like it and am blessed to still be here and OK. Had no power from 8PM monday until about 8:30 last night, very drained still as I had to try to sleep in a chair because I could not use \ my sleep apnea machine. *Please note...I was a couple of doors up the block yesterday talking to neighbors as we watched an unfamiliar couple of trucks and crew start to put our little part of the world back in operation. Big orange rigs with OG&E on the doors, neighbors and I had no idea. When others went home I walked across the street and asked the fellas where they were from , OKLAHOMA (Oklahoma Gas & Electric). God bless them they did a great job and were appreciative of my expressed thanks. It will take this town, this area, and this state a very long time to recover from this debacle. We continue to be on odd even gas rationing and I don't know yet when or where I can replace the $100 to $200 worth of groceries I had to chuck. You did a great job with the BAC stuff, thanks. It is a great show (damn, no Woodcocks since 2000 ?, damn) no matter what the allknowing allseeing Silber says. By the way I'd like to tell him that's an Ox , not a cow. I don't believe Chick has ever been a performer, so I'd like to get the attached quote from TR to him, but don't know his email. That one pic of you with Peggy and a couple of kids and a lady, you do know that the lady is the late and lovely Jill Clayburgh!? Well, I 've taken up enough of your time, so I guess I'll start to do things that I couldn't for 6 days. All the best all ways to all of you, Paul
