The storm

[.... foul weather]

Last night a storm came through
..... windy.... blowing..... with downpours of rain
.... and this morning a tree said "That's enough!
I quit!".....and it laid down...
right on the power line.

At four am I awoke to the noise....
.... and blackness! No lights.
No power....
I went exploring in the cold and the rain
..... nothing on the roof.... That's good.
Look at the road.... the power line on the ground!
.... Not good!

Oh dear.

No power means no lights.....
..... no hot water for a shower
.....no hot water for coffee
.... no power for computers
..... no power for the modem!
Yikes!
No communication!
No mobile.... no phone.... no email...
.... no internet....

What can we do?
Without connection to the world
I am lost!  Alone....

If I am so dependent on connecting to other people
my world has gone the wrong way .......

..... or has it?
Isn't this need for connection a healthy thing?

I hope so.   It's cold without the heater!
