Break Time 0
Off to drink liberally, hoping that the storm doesn’t really start until we’re done.
Addendum:
As I write this at about 11:00 p. m., the storm hasn’t amounted to much. There’s been a bit of rain, heavy at times, but really no big deal.
I’ll check the rain gauge (yes, I have a rain gauge) in the morning and report back.
And, yes, those of us who showed up at the DL gathering had a great conversation, ranging from Hammer Films vampire movies to OTR (Old Time Radio). It was a nice break from politics.
Addendum-de-dum-dum:
We got only about half an inch of rain, but the winds kicked up over night; as I look out the window, I see a number of branches, some of them substantial, that were once attached to trees . . . .
