family, nature, technology, weather

water and lights

well my pretties . . .
Hurricane Isabel was no joke,
day 3 here with no power
which also means, no water.
i’ve been hiberating like a bear.
amazing how the body will shut down
when there is no regular stimulus
even the hum of A/C and underlying vibration of power.

you would not BELIEVE what i had to do to get online.

my prince of a man went and drove to PA from MD
to get a generator, and soon we’ll be semi-functional
but before this, i had a converter
hooked up to a DeWalt powerdrill battery
and that was connected to my brother-in-law’s laptop
and then, good old dialup as the phones still work.
i have 3 online classes this semester
so . . . i NEED to get on this bastard
and hopefully get to my own resources soon.
