Exciting Weather
Power was out for three days.
Phone and Internet (DSL) out for ten days.
Observations
- It isn’t really as cold outdoors as you think it is (it was warm)
- :idea: A generator is wonderful. Heat, refrigeration, and a few lights are all you need.
- Fresh air is nice
- Pine pitch smells nice
- Some branches have to be cut before they can be dragged
- Ice on branches is beautiful
- |-| The Internet is somewhat similar to cable TV - many channels, lots of content, but alot of it isn’t worth seeing
- The phone isn’t that important
- :lalala: Many times, if the cell phone hangs up (see post about battery), no information is lost
- A bow saw is great
- You may need alot of paper to start the first fire in the fireplace, then, you have to dry the wood out. It gets easier.
- Warm clothes are nice
- :!: Warm sleeping bags are nice
- :lalala: Taking a vacation day is kind of fun
- :yes: Returning to work, eager to do your job, feels good, too
