It looks like Cabell's site is unreachable.

I also tried to access it early this week and could not.

I just heard from him and the reason the site is down is the server it was on was at a family members home in Colorado that was destroyed by fire but the hard drives made it out OK. He said it should be back up in a few weeks.

Thanks for the prompt from Mark... Here is an update...

My brother’s home which was the hosting site for gag.com (the parent host for my website with M37, tire, and other information) fell victim to forest fire on 11 June 2013. His house was very close to where the fire started, so they had very little warning and feel very lucky to have escaped with their lives, pets, and a few of precious possessions. This was the second really significant forest fire in the Colorado Springs area in less than one year, and now appears to be the worst fire in Colorado history in terms of structure loss... the count of destroyed homes is over 500.

My brother managed to save the servers that hosted the websites and he has appropriate internet access at the apartment where he is currently living to be able to put the sites back online in the near future. Obviously, getting his family settled in their new quarters, sifting through the debris at the home site, and taking care of their long term needs takes precedence over getting the websites back.

The gag.com site currently has information for those who would like to help those affected by the fire as well as information on my brother’s family’s recovery and the status of the websites.
