Repercussions

      Well, that was wicked. We had a storm here on the tenth, with what my brother called hurricane-force winds. It ripped trees out of the ground, roots and all. There were sirens going all over, and it rained and hailed. I even briefly saw sleet. Mission, Abbotsford, even Vancouver were in the dark.
      The power was out for twenty-nine hours; and the Internet wasn't up and running until sixteen additional hours later. It took that long because apparently, the electrician (or whomever fiddles with the transformers) broke his fingers.
      Too bad. I know what that's like. But in any event, I'm glad to be back online. Now I can do more than sleep and doodle by flashlight. Man, that was boring!

    1. Not here, I don't think...But maybe it made the news. Apparently it was the biggest storm in 20 years.
