How did he die? Typing.
It’s hot and quiet and very soon dark.
Let me describe what it is like here at the moment. The storm took out the power for ALL of the towns around here. Roughly 76,000 people are without power for the next several days. Most of the grocery stores are closed. The gas stations are all closed. Home Depot and Target are on generator power. If you have never shopped in a major chain store that is on generator power allow me to describe. It’s dark and empty. There are a few worker bees that will take you to the isle you need and help you see better with their flashlights ($8.99). The entire experience is delightfully surreal. I went to Target (the second t is silent like Tar-jay) and bought a DC to AC power inverter for 19 bucks. That lets me run the car like a generator and charge up my laptop. (39% and rising) That means that Sam gets to have some link to the outside world for a bit. HOORAY! It also means that I can watch a movie if I want and I usually do want.
Thankfully it is supposed to be much cooler tonight, that will be a nice change. The dogs are bored silly and keep wanting me to wrestle with them. I do for a bit then they realize that it’s hot and stop. Then twenty minutes later they have forgotten and want to wrestle again. They are like that with a lot of stuff. Not so bright my dogs but fabulous regardless. Well in the house it is just muggy. It isn’t terribly hot, maybe 80 but there is no air moving so it seems more sauna like than anything. Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining here. I didn’t lose my house or the dogs or a car. I am just without power for a bit. No big deal. Though on this farm when the power is out so is the water (well and pump). Thankfully I drained the water from the holding tank so I can flush the toilet.
It is now very dark in the house and I am wearing one of my camping headlamps. Picture this. A bald man with about ½ a beard, shirtless, in his shorts sitting in the dark typing on a laptop that is plugged via a long extension cord to a car. Now really how is it that I am not married? Oh I forgot to mention the headband with a light on it. Very sexy.
Until then,
Sam
