OK, it's actually 59 years in the dark for me. But the electricity came on late yesterday. Still no phone or internet at my house, but running water --- and running HOT water --- was a real treat. Now gathering 3 day's worth of email at a public hotspot; sending in a column I wrote by candlelight in the cold and dark while gnawing on a moose haunch; trying to get caught up. New Hampshire: It's not just a State. It's an adventure!
The rest of us can only dream of moose haunches.
ReplyDeleteFred, we bought a home generator a while back. Every time we loose power, I fire up the generator, and the power comes back on immediately. It works so fast that sometimes I don't even have time to plug anything into the generator.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have a generator too, but it's old, noisy and inefficient, and good only for short bursts of power. I can run the furnace a bit, and keep my frozen foods frozen.
ReplyDeleteBut that spoils the image of gnawing on moose parts in the dark, doesn't it?
Hey, I have a *reputation* to maintain! ;-)
I see you're able to maintain your sense of humor as well. That's nice!
ReplyDeleteScore one for planning. Good job, Fred!
ReplyDeleteWhat a siege! You may be frozen but you are still funny. Go Fred!
ReplyDeleteI think a better post title would be "How real men blog!"
ReplyDeleteIf you aren't already doing it, you should write a book...fiction or non-fiction.
