If you said, "Dolly Parton, 1977," you were close: that song was Here We Come Again. But, if you said, "Ray Charles, 1967," you get 25 bonus points, and your cool factor went up 30%. If you said, "Demi Lovato, 2009," you are way more with it than I am.
Around 1:00 pm, the power went out again. Yes, it is still blowing like stink and cold (40º, according to our weather station, before it went out). Perhaps this is the new standard? Our board of directors in the village is trying to push through an infrastructure proposal for ten million dollars... and new electrical is part of that. Now, I'm not suggesting there is some sort of plot afoot... we've been around here long enough to know that anything usual for weather seems to affect our apparently fragile power grid.
Joan had started lunch... it was going to be hotdogs with chili. Now, it is just chili. It hits the spot on a cold winter day.
There were no power outages reported when looking online (laptop and my phone as a hotspot), so I went out to check our circuit box - all normal. When I got back in, multiple outages are being reported on our island and in Port Isabel. Estimated "restoration time": 5:00 pm. We were in the middle of a Longmire episode on NetFlicks. Joan just suggested that it might be a good time to take a nap; I'm not sleepy - I want to see what Walt and Vic are up to next on Longmire. ;-)
Looks like a good time to get an acoustic guitar out.

Well, that was unusual: something getting done ahead of time here... power was back on in an hour or so. And now, back to Longmire. 'Cause I have no intention of going outside. Never got above 41º today. Wind and rain. A "Gale Watch" is in effect: winds 20 to 30mph, gusts above 40. So, that's fun.
