Robot Claw

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…

Ice storm overnight left us without power. 12 hours and counting. Tree limbs everywhere down in Delmar, plus a few power poles (including 3 houses down from us). Hopefully we won’t be heating by fireplace tonight…
