sidetracked

It snowed a few days ago and it's stayed cold keeping the snow on the ground and the roads icy. We expect a little more snow tonight and then some warming in the next couple of days. And hopefully no more wind for a while. I was in the local phone company office and there was another customer complaining about the power outages. He runs one of the local water districts. (We are all on well systems on the the south end of Whidbey Island.) He said that he normally has two power outages in a winter. He's had nine so far. It's hard to keep the pumps going without electricity. Here at Honeymoon Lake we have some large tanks so we can go a few days without power and there are generators to keep the water being pumped. This is the worst winter we've had for wind storms that I've seen. More climate change.

Zoe had another episode with her stomach. She had forgotten about the pain but she was able to work through it and we didn't have to make an ER run or, worse, get admitted to the hospital with an NG tube. She has been getting better but was a little tender today.


Zorki Standard and Leica IIIc


Because of the addition of the Zorki Standard to my 35mm kit made my 35mm Randefinder page even more out of date than it had been. It's updated but now I have to update the rest. It never ends.
