But many around us are living without the modern conveniences, and experiencing record heat.
I got several calls, dms, and messages asking if I was in fact okay, and yes, I am, so thank you.
Fortunately, in the four or so years that I’ve been here, I haven’t really lost power for any considerable amount of time.
One problem, though… gas is at a premium around here. Many stations are closed that have gas due to the power being out, and those had have it are experiencing long lines at the pump.
I have 137 miles left for this tank. Not too bad.
Anyway… thought I’d let you all know.
Pray and donate and help where you can.

until a bit ago, i was unaware of these storms. its has been as dry as a bone for the last month here.
Here in Woodstock, VA, we were hit by the storm, and a lot of the surrounding areas (and gas stations) lost power. But in the town we lost power and internet for only a few minutes. We are sweating it out today anyway as we have very inadequate air conditioning. But I’ve survived worse.
on days like this, there is not such thing as adequate ac, Peter.
