Not so much a slave as an indentured servant! We've suffered a major power outage from a storm last night. I'm writing to you from an "unsecured location". We'll be lucky to have our power restored by 8 pm tonight, which will make it 24 hours since the power went out. I'm praying that the meat in the big freezer makes it. *crossing fingers*
Secundus reports that you have corresponded with him via email. He is well pleased, although, I'm sure he wishes that KODT would write back. Chat when you can.
getting Doc to do anything aside from work or mess with the livestock is next to impossible. you know that. such a futile endeavor ain't worth my time and effort when I'm on the clock, and she has no email account on her homerig.
oh: go to local sebbinelebbin and buy a boatload of ice, double-bag it to seal in meltwater, dump bags of ice in freezer until there is absolutely no air left in it, and cross your fingers.
