Monday Morning

     Bad weather is always less ominous during daylight and this morning brings a temperature of 34 in the city and a check around my neck of the woods shows less ice as many trees shed their covering overnight...many others did not but there are fewer leaners among the trees I see every day.
     I am sure it varies greatly depending on location.  I listened to radio this AM and an informative interview with a NiMo....scratch that.....Grid spokesman. Remember the old days when Paul Forte was the reassuring voice of the monolithic utility. They have a new reassuring voice who did a good job.

This Morning in Black River

 

     Still no cable so I am getting used to life without television  but am thankful I have heat and light.
      I am confident today will be a day of progress as the weather event is over and many will see power restored.
      You can't change the weather but modern devices and the experience of previous storms has helped make this one a little easier to deal with.
       Of course losing the technologies we depend on makes us more victimized than we really may be.
       Like the folks who called 9-1-1 to say their cable is out.
       8:30...Time to head to the bank and city hall and start a new day. May the best be with you as the Christmas holiday nears.
