Hot and Dark

It appears that we are located at the center of the wind storm that hit the East Coast last Friday night.  We have now gone seven days without power and there is no end it sight.  Power poles on our street still need to be replaced before new power lines can be hung. 

Through all of this we have learned a few things.  I have been typing them on an a good-old typewriter and will scan and edit the text once power comes back.  For the last couple of days we have been able to get internet connections at Barnes and Nobel and a local McDonalds for about 30 minutes a time.  We have been using a power inverter in the van to keep basic electronics (cell phone, lap top) charged up.

I expect that life will get back to normal next week.  Hope so.  Sitting in the dark with no AC in 100+ degree weather is not my idea of fun. 

Blessings to all . . .
