Inside My Mind

An early morning storm ravished the cornfield yesterday morning. All things electrical were dead for nearly 10 hours in the Den yesterday. The mercury rose to 86 while the humidity made the air difficult to breathe.

Email was inaccessible. Air conditioning was non-existent. Coffee made the overnight was cold.

Sometime around 7 a.m. yesterday, winds and rain pelted the cornfield. Power losses were reported throughout the Wabash Valley. For us denizens of Dugger in the middle of the cornfield power was off from around 8 a.m. until nearly 6 p.m.

We made sure our "kids" Frankie and Tigger (the new official name of our newest family member the stray kitten) had plenty of water. The kids seemed to fare much better than we did.

Thankfully, power has been restored. Thankfully the air conditioning unit is functioning. The temperature is expected to rise to s suffocating 96 today. The heat in itself would be tolerable, but coupled with a heavy moisture ladened atmosphere it is nearly impossible to not suffer.

Fortunately, we survived our day in the dark without 'puter withdrawals. Fortunately, nothing of import transpired online that required our attention.

And how is your summer going?
