ComiXpress Had Power Outage

It appears that my shipment of The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan may be delayed due to recent storms over the last two days that knocked out ComiXpress's power for a couple of days.

ComiXpress posted on March 16 (which was day two of the outage):

ComiXpress’ Offices in Dumont NJ continue to be without power due to the recent storms. Power is slowly being restored throughout the area, and a representative of the Electric Company PSE&G has recently given us an estimate that power should be restored to our area late today.

Thanks again for your patience as we ride this unforseen storm out. Please know we look forward to being able to roll up our sleeves and return to work full force as soon as possible!

Then, yesterday, they posted:

Looks like we’re enjoying a bit of Luck-o-the-Irish here! Power was restored to the grid including the ComiXpress Offices sometime overnight, and we’re back in business! We obviously have a lot to wade through today, including emails, printing, digital production and more – but everyone here is planning 25 hour work-days until things get back on track.

Thanks again to everyone for their patience and understanding during this unfortunate time.

Okay, in the words of Adam West: “Atomic batteries to power! Turbines to speed!”

(It's been a while since I watched the old Batman television show, but I seem to recall that it was Burt Ward who said the above quote, not Adam West.)

I hope the shipment isn't delayed too long, I have some orders to fill (a couple with a deadline as a couple of college professors are expected to be in Japan April 4 doing some Godzilla research).

Another classic television quote comes to mind in all of this. It is from Captain Binghampton (Joe Flynn) from McHale's Navy: "Why me? Why is it always me?"

Maybe they ought to consider re-locating to Southern California. But the way things go, they'd probably be knocked out by an earthquake if they did.
