I have proven that I would have been a really lousy pioneer. Last weekend, when the snow came in and the power zipped off, it was time to test my prairie life skills. I toted wood from the felled trees (including one that dramatically dropped between three cars in our driveway), laid a fire, layered up as the temperature in the house dropped to 48 degrees, and, in general, adapted. But within hours, I was ready to shrug off this charade like it was a Halloween costume. Seriously. It was not fun as the hours wore on. And I am far luckier than many of my neighbors who are on day six with no power, mirroring our nightmare this summer. We lost it for only two days and considered ourselves lucky. All I want for Christmas is a generator!
November 4, 2011Last weekend, we experienced a freakily early major snowstorm here on the East Coast. Luckily, it didn’t affect me all that much (although I do have a wicked cold that refuses to go away, so there’s that), but Carol got really socked out in New Jersey with a power outage. She missed out on Sunday’s episode of "The Walking Dead," which she’s fairly addicted to these days…and grabbed the remote to watch it on DVR as soon as the power came back. While folks in her town were not dealing with zombies, she was interested to see how people reacted to the stresses and upset that came to their lives with fallen trees and a lack of power ---- while thinking about "The Walking Dead."
