“Life In The So-Called Space Age”
Time to go to bed, almost. We have a raging fire heating our downstairs room. We’ve hung a blanket in the doorway to hold in the heat and it’s actually almost uncomfortably warm in here! Upstairs is another story, chilly at 48F. It’s 20F outside now and dropping, which means the house will be quite cold in the AM. Hopefully power will be restored tomorrow…
Nothing like sitting by the light of a oil lantern reading Retro Gamer while the cold, dark abyss of a powerless Delmar peers in through the doors…
The cause of our outage, several houses down. Many powerlines have branches or full trees on them not fare from our home, so we fear we may be without power for some time. We just moved perishables into an ice-packed cooler. Hopefully we won’t lose too much food. We stocked up on firewood and lamp fuel as well. Tonight the forecast is <10 F, so we’ll probably be close to the fireplace…
