Power. Its pretty rad. Especially when its gone out two nights in about a week. At least we have beer and a metric ton o candles cause otherwise this would be a complete disaster.

Also Meri has come to appreciate my obsession with flashlights , and my rule to have a UPS on almost all the computers. This way we can save the pooters AND charge our phones when the power goes out.

This recent rain storm is more like a shenandoah valley storm than a tacompton storm.  It gets way calm then poars for a few minutes, then the wind blows the hard rain away. I’m missing va more and more , but I’m seeing more of the same stuff out here. Cept of course chicfila. Which I would almost kill for at this point.
