You could say it was partly just winter in general. The SUV tried to take the turn too fast and knocked down the power pole.

Primary cause: person who forgot it was winter and was going too fast for road conditions.

Secondary cause: loose snow on top of ice.

We all heard the crash and then the lights went out.

I still have the on-line store but I work in a Brick and Mortar store as well. Books; Used, Rare and Collectible.

If you want the studio suppressed Autobiography of Veronica Lake... Sorry... we just sold it. News Flash: Alan Ladd was a cad

Oh, wow. How did you ever find a job in a rare book store? My dream job!

Central Utah had a hefty snowstorm, and it seems folks have forgotten how to drive there, too. I recall a lot of winters where it took quite a while for snow plows to clear the roads, so often, I had to find my own way in to work. I forgot how to do that, living in the desert since 1980.

I go into B&N stores every once in a while, just to smell, since I obviously can’t afford the books they sell. My kids and I used to hit the local bookstores every payday and it was not a stretch to come out with $40+ worth of books under our arms. That was in the ‘70’s. They still remember it, though my son doesn’t read as much as he did as a kid.

This was before B&N and Booksellers took over all the small stores. No discounts, now... I do have almost $10 credit at B&N from a class-action suit, but I haven’t been over there for a long time. I need to go and see if I can find a book I like in a sale bin.

Afternoon. I’m glad you have electricity. I love electricity!

Veronica Lake was beautiful. We watched “I Married a Witch” recently; very amusing. She was also in that Depression film about the journalist who went off and discovered the lives of the downtrodden first hand, whatever it was called.
