I’ve been home puttering around. Yesterday a fellow came to start the job of taking down a large poplar tree that is right on my driveway. He did more than I expected and much sooner than expected which is all good. I wasn’t really doing this in the face of the incoming hurricane but more towards the coming winter and ice storms etc.
Today has been grey and eventually the winds started being noticable. Around 2:00 I went out to fill the car up with gas and I stopped for a bit of late lunch. The wind really started picking up and the rain started.
Just as I was finishing my lunch the power blipped. I paid and was on my way. The new computer was off but nothing else was blinking so it must have been a short one.
I got news that the head to head haiku event is cancelled for tomorrow. That frees me up from reading out loud tonight. Guess I will have to find something else to do.
The catcam has been moved upstairs to watch the trees wave around, but here’s a bit of more meaningful footage.
