I’m glad you got power back on. We are so dependent on electricity, for everything. I have oil lamps but can’t use them because of the fumes. Lamp oil, kerosene, doesn’t matter what I use, the fumes give me problems. I use collapsible tac lights. They are in the bathroom, under the cabinet and I can grope my way to them in the blackness. I always put them back in that same spot.

I keep a charged headlamp by my bed....even if power on, waking up in middle of night is dark!

So .... remember how I said that power came back on at about 10 pm or so?


It went back off at midnight!!!

Still off this morning... came back on at about 1pm.

We bought some new headlamps... the ones we had were way too old and busted....

I am REALLY good at making my way in pitch blackness.

Spouse, not so much!

I have a large Maglite under my bed and another mounted by the back door. I have 2 led headlamps and several of those lantern type pop-up flashlights also by the back door. I used to have battery lanterns but they finally died. They were over 30 years old.

Post card pretty.... Looks like a picture for a jigsaw puzzle...

We were supposed to get some wintry mix. Air is so dry I guess the first little wave didn't hit the ground... maybe a second wave in a bit then changing to a cold rain... don't know how much we will actually see. It is right around 31 at 8:30 a.m. so right on the edge... At least there is no wind... Probably just a COLD rain if we get much.

It’s 64F here with high of 76F. In December. I’m not complaining. Supposed to be partly sunny today. Snow? Might could find some in the freezer, but not. It’s frost free.
