(Especially given the last blackout.) Perhaps it didn't last? No mirror site at Mississippi, where I suspect most of the business occurs? I hope everyone's okay. I guess they could burn old ... no, that would be barbaric. Stranger than hosting a website in house is that the servers did not have a backup generator or power supply.

He also says there may be some weather-related impact on the retailers receiving orders from the Olive Branch, Mississippi warehouse; as my mother, who lives nearby, just phoned me in a panic, snow is dumping there right now.
