Losing ancient trees
So much turmoil yesterday - we lost power at the house, Andy lost power at the school, work was crazy and the winds were just howling. Spouse was home yesterday, and when he ran out to the store (a mile and a half away) to get noodles for the chicken soup I had made, he couldn't get back home because of the downed trees and powerlines. Our neighbor at the top of the street lost an ancient pine. It was at least six feet around, and there it was this morning cut up into large hunks. There didn't seem to be any rot in the middle, so it must have just been the wind and soggy ground letting it go.

The sun is out today, so that helps things. I've been given another ridiculously large project by someone who doesn't want to do it herself. That does not help.

Looking forward to the weekend - it's grown-ups night Saturday, but before that we have D&O w/ the in-laws for lunch.

Can't think of anything else at the moment.
