Blackout.


Nancy's turn again tonight. We woke up to rain this morning; what a surprise. The storm grew slowly but steadily in intensity all day culminating in high wind warnings for late afternoon and evening. Fortunately for Jim, he was hard at work all day. So was I, but mine also involved two quick trips into town, one under quite blustery conditions. Then about 6:00 the power went out. So we lit a fire in the fireplace and what candles we could find and were grateful no lightning was involved to make us panic about computer damage. After a couple of hours about the time we were going to give up and make peanut butter sandwiches for dinner the lights came back on. Maybe a generator is in order for those living full time up here.
