Due to all the rain and flooding, internet access has been dead for about a day ... it is very slow right now. Don't know when we will lose it again.

We are fine. House is high and dry. Just a little bit of roof leakage in the maids area.  Many parts of the city are under water - lots 2-3 feet deep. Some 10 feet deep.  Chris and Paul will recall the Sabang area where we ate porridge at night on the street - its 3-4 foot deep in water.  Canals are overflowing.

More rain is coming.

As for Decy (Stacy, thanks for asking) - she's doing better.  I think it was the fact that they gave her 4 or 5 medicines to take at the same time.  After she finished 2 of them ... she started feeling better.   Don't yet know how her chlosterol is doing ... but she it taking the medicine, eating differently, exercising, and losing some weight (not that she had much to lose).  Presume in a couple of weeks she will go back and have things rechecked.

Need to hit "enter" before I lose the connection again.
