I'd have a pot-bellied stove and a pile of coal like the old guys in overalls sitting around in the store playing checkers when I was a kid. I'd have kerosene lamps, two hurricane style, and two railroad style, genuine vintage ones faked in China from ebay. Maybe a kerosene space heater somewhere. They aren't as dangerous as the fire department would have you think. Drunks can give anything a bad reputation. I think there's something cool about the community coming together so a big store for warmth and light in a power outage in a blizzard.

Thank you for sharing that, and the sense of togehterness it brought my heart, as I sit in my house, warm, by myself, lethargicly putting off the dishes, waking up for time no.2.

I know it is horrible that people are uprooted and storms devestate, but a power outage isn't so terrible, so I can say how it feels to have advasary turned to community togetherness.

From the outside, of course.

I want a sage coloured comfy chair!

And Holley and I were griping cause the cable internet went out for two days. Though in today's technology, no internet feels almost the same as no power. Actually, I think no internet for two days sounds much worse. I bet you two went through major withdrawal symptoms. Jim, don't I wish I had a pot-bellied stove!

Jennifer, don't I wish I had a sage comfy chair! It's fun to enjoy little perks like the Fred Meyer furniture section. I told my friends today that in the event of future power outages, we will all meet there and throw a party.

Jim made some good suggestions. I hope you get your power back soon. I wish the power would come back on, too. It sucks to have to write this message by hand instead of typing it.
