Sa 7/1/23- POWER OUTAGE

 Sa 7/1/23: Power Outage

815pm (2-B), 240pm (1-B). 645pm (2-B). 

Rain ended early in the morning but severe weather was predicted with strong winds, hail, and possible tornadoes. 

I was pleased that Buddy didn't get sick during all the violent confusion. 

7am: Began 'SACRIFICE' by Joyce Carol Oates on the breezeway to the roar of the generators in the background. 

825am-1045am: As I was walking on Westview up to Kenyon the guy next door was on his bike and we talked for a bit. He said the humidity was really bothering him...Parkview, Wash. Pk southside, East to Pasfield, Governor, Back to Wash Pk. southside, up the hill, Parkview, Kenyon...TWO HOURS and 20 MINUTES.

**Four trucks were on the scene, but no workers.

Reading more of 'SACRIFICE'.

145pm: Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps (1st time since Wednesday).

CRAZY THOUGHTS:

"The AC is 'Off' so I'll just use the fans"..."I don't need the Internet, I'll just listen to my CDs on the player in the kitchen".

250pm-345pm: Bike Ride Out Oakmont and around almost to the mall.

*** The three line trucks with no drivers are still sitting at Kenyon and Parkview. Nothing has been done since last night.

Reading 'SACRIFICE'

645pm: Winds picked u and temps dropped, but no heavy rain or strong winds.

Read in lounge lawn chair on the breezeway till 815pm. Then more reading at the kitchen table by candlelight. I don't know how Abe Lincoln did it because one candle is not too conducive to reading.

We 8/15/18

We 8/15/18 Up 820am; overcast, clammy, and threatening. Rain predicted all day and tomorrow- none so far; 915am. (All day and barely a sprinkle- it was happening all around us, but nothing here) Watched  'SUSPECT ZERO' (Amazon Prime) Aaron Eckhart/ Ben Kingsley/ Carrie Anne Moss.  Eckhart plays a disgraced FBI agent who is being fed information by a serial killer. Seems to be Ben Kingsley, but he's not the killer, he's an ex-agent who can do 'remote viewing'. Not bad, but close, however excellent and creative charcoal drawings as the 'hints' to Eckhart's character. Another episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE', and then another 'GLOW'. 250PM- Drove to FitClub West, then after the workout to the County Market on south sixth for beer and some groceries- and a dependable can opener! (PS. This is a really clever design. '3-in-one design'; church key/ tuna opener/ pop top) 45" The Best Octane. 45" Recumbent Bike (b...

Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix). Clearly the drama hasn't ended, and I hope there will be infinite new seasons. {No such luck. I couldn't find anything about a third season}. This was the quote at the end of the series: "I am the Lord who frustrates the omens of diviners and makes a mockery of magicians, who turns back the wise and turns their knowledge into folly"...Book of Isaiah. ***Phone had to be restarted because I 'was not connected to a network'.  ***925am: 'Diet Smoke' gummy order arrived on the front porch via FedEx; Watermelon/ Acapulco Gold Watched 'HOW TO HAVE SEX' (Netflix). Three high school age (?) girls take a summer holida...
