I regret that my postings have been slow again.  In the picture above you see a downed power pole.  This pole was 3 blocks from me and from Tuesday at 5 PM through Thursday during the day I was without power.  My poor computer did not respond to the candles I was using for light, so I therefore could not post.

The extended experience of lack of power did cause me to feel  many emotions.  The most frequent was frustration (anger) because so many of the things I wanted to do required power.  With the power off for so long I also had to replace the food in my refrigerator and freezer so that was an additional expense.  So there was also an element of sorting out the cost of something I did not want in the first place.

On the positive side, having power back on gives me great joy and showed me just how much I enjoy my home and base of “cyber-world connection”.  I hope now to resume daily posting.
