We had a bad storm last night which knocked out my DSL, phones, one of my satellite receivers, and a few of the electrical appliances in the house. I saw the flash and heard/felt the thunder. The strike had to be close by and it must have struck the ground. All of the ground base services are out but the power was unaffected (though it did blow out a TV). I’ll probably be very spotty at updating for the next week.
How am I updating now? My daughter force me to take her someplace with internet access.

Autumn is finally here in all of its glory and its really cold winds are on the way. We have been having flooding in the north of the state as I am sure you know from the news, and the water is on its way down south. I feel for the people in north Georgia and know what they are going through as we in the south coastal area had similar flooding earlier this year. One good thing about all this rain is that the water table will be back up close to normal and the draught that has been plaguing the state looks to end.
Want more good news Georgia? We are expected to have a really, really cold wet winter with some places having unheard of snowfall. I can image trying to go to work and passing over the five bridges between my house and my job, all of which ice over in the winter with little provocation.
Now for the list of things to do this Autumn to prepare for winter:
- cut and split firewood
- clean fireplace
- trim the weeds around the house and the wood
- cut and split more firewood
- winterize the car
- cut and split firewood (I have a lot of wood to cut and split)
- get out the winter clothes
- run around naked outside for the last time this year
- freak out my neighbors when they see me running around naked
- give my neighbors anti-nausea medicine for seeing me run around naked
- make more lists
- cut yet more firewood

You only have a few hours of Summer left (at the time of writing you have 7 hours and 59 minutes left) so enjoy what there is of it before the spectre of Autumn comes rolling around about 5:18 PM local time.
Autumn is my favorite time of the year and the weather currently is reflecting the change of the seasons.
