I tell you, I'm one day late wishing Arizona a happy 100th birthday and suddenly 6,482,505 people are mad at me.
Gees, I'm sorry!

A quick shout out!
To the über-hip birthday girls!
No one would guess their real age, but I will give a subtle hint. They both have matriculated from high school! (And no, you needn't be embarrassed that I put that in print, Bethie! It doesn't have a nasty meaning!)

124 Hours Later
Electricity has returned to our little corner of the world. While that has modest worth of note in cosmic reality, it is really important to my little family. I seem to be attached to two cats, two dogs and a man of a certain age who would not have enjoyed being a pioneer family. Our discussions of the 1890's grew curt and neared hostility.
Each of us, and I do include myself in this description, is drawn to the artificial brightness of a lightbulb this evening. We are lapsing into an unusual worship of electronic equipment. The coffee grinder is nearing beatification in my book. Richard doesn’t argue the point.
Oh, and tomorrow morning, my shower will not include gasping for breath and growing numb from the heartlessness of the bitterly cold water. I will have a warm shower!
Shall we all break into a quick rendition of the 'Hallelujah Chorus'

Weather update.
The snow has stopped falling. We got our two feet. Wednesday was spent digging out. All was good, until…
Freezing rain: the scurge of the masses.
This is the ice storm of legends. There are trees down on 13th Street, Wy’east Road, Dee Highway, Hood River Highway, Miller Road, Belmont Drive, Davis, Sylvester… The list goes on infinitum. The Hood River News will soon only report about trees that haven’t fallen.
Oddly, falling trees have a tendency to take power lines with them when they go. I think it is something of a homicide/suicide relationship.
Electricity is a luxury these days. Richard and I know no luxuries. We lost our power yesterday at about 10:30AM. We don’t know when it will be back, but “no time soon” is the current estimate. After years of little use, the wood stove has become our hero!
