Respite

Two days of moderate rain, today’s it’s the bluest of blue skies.

Tomorrow the rain starts again and is supposed to be hard and last for days, most of the week. We’re getting warnings about potential power outages, local flooding, mudslides, and reminders about emergency precautions. “Assume a downed power line is live.” “Don’t run a generator in the house.” “Don’t drive into standing water.” That sort of thing.

We live at the top of a previously mentioned freakin’ huge hill so flooding in the immediate area isn’t a concern, but it could keep us trapped if there’s flooding in the catch basin down at the bottom. Power outages could leave us cold and bored, but we’ll live. I don’t plan on going anywhere, so I don’t plan on tangling with water whether it be standing, sitting, running, jogging, or flying. Mudslides? Well, I guess it could happen, but we’ve never seen any signs of it near here.

We will deal with whatever comes along. The biggest personal impact might be in our Superb Owl party preparations, but the official Joe’s KC BBQ supply arrived today, so we should be good!

Wherever you are, stay safe and enjoy the weekend!
