We lose power very easily, too.

In this town, all the electrical wires are in the back yards. (gas lamps are on the streets) Since we back up onto a patch of woods, often the branches come down on those lines and off goes the power. But the phone lines seem to always survive. My computer is 'dial-up' (still) and because of that, when we put a generator in for Y2K, it was because I wanted computer access. If I had Comcast we would have been in limbo!!

Its been a nice day to be in!! The fire is going, I have milk/bread/toilet paper and am lounging in cyberspace. What more do I need?

LOL! Are you wrapped in fleece clothing like we are? (No PJs but LLBean or equivalent fleece...)
