I’m writing this on Thursday because Saturday’s storm knocked out our internet service and set me behind. We also lost a telephone and answering machine, a couple of light bulbs and a small ornamental tree. I try not to panic when the internet goes out, and I think I handle it better than my husband does the loss of his cable TV, but I think we’re all way too dependent on our electrical devices.

Then on Monday, day 227, we got caught driving in one of the worst rain storms I can remember. We could barely see out the windows. We made it home safely, but I’m seriously thinking about an arc. Now, how many cubits of balsa wood was that?
