A nice breeze, with a few gusts. Few drops of rain. We heard a transformer blow in the neighborhood about 15 minutes ago, but we still have power. I relented and boarded up a few critical windows — Jennifer can be very persuasive.
Oma’s power (she lives a few miles northwest of here) is out already. She had vowed, in the event of an outage, to get in the car and head to Chicago, but I think she was expecting the storm to come before the power failure.
Why the power problems before the storm?
Mark;
keep us posted. If it gets too bad let me know and you all can stay with me.

Paul, that’s very kind. I expect that we’ll be just fine.
I imagine you’ll lose power pretty soon. I guess we’ll know when you stop posting.
Take care, and I’ll see you on the other side.
Thanks to the magic of the laptop and the aircard, I expect I’ll post once or twice after we lose power.
Unless, of course, the storm is inside the house by then.
This is probably the wrong thread for nostalgia, but you are the only other person I ever knew (well – besides my sister) that called their Grandma “Oma”. May she rest in peace.
What are you German or something?
