Do you have power?

We’ve had gusty wind all day, but it seems to have died down now - I’m not hearing the wind chimes. It’s supposed to get cold tonight. I’ll close the windows when the temperature here in the dining room reaches 70.

Yes, we have power. It didn’t even flicker which is the usual if a powerline short happens (usually around 2:30 AM when the bars close..) As I was looking at the local vassal of ConEdison’s outage map the flashie light vehicles collected their orange traffic cones, tossed them in one of the two vehicles, backed up with beeping alertdevice sounding, and proceeded nominal south on the T road.

The outage map shows quite a few outages around the area most of which are listing ‘assessment in progress’ as the cause. Only one of the spots indicates ‘tree involved’ in the cause area. And at a lake community about three (crow-flying) miles northeast of me the indication is ‘poles involved’.

In the meantime since the windystuff has quieted the female feline thought she wanted back out (after all, all the evil threatening noises and flashybangers are gone) until we opened the door for her and she discovered it was still raining. Last I saw her she was sitting in my window in the bed that once was the White-furbeast-with-no-tail-to-tell’s.
