Just nine hours to go…


The lights are coming and going on and off. Reports of nearly a million without power tell me we may well be in the dark soon. Even as I type this via the iPhone, the service has lapsed from electric to battery several times. I am monitoring conditions via the trusty MacBookPro. Sure glad I invested in that robust battery backup for the router and DSL. Despite the chirps, beeps, howls, and whines, the kids haven’t stirred once.

Added bonus: The front door’s copper weather stripping harmonicas a lovely song as particularly strong gusts pass.
