<![CDATA[Hey Mike,
Glad you made it through okay. You know, for all the hype the hurricane had
going into it, I was surprised how littel was said about it afterwards. I've
been to Baltimore's inner harbor, and I now have visions of it underwater.
Strange. I've hardly seen any news coverage, though.
