It's beginning to smell a bit like Christmas

The power is still out. I can't have any coffee. I have already had a two hour nap today. But other than that, we're fine. The rain stopped by the time I woke up - the first time. The wind is still giving it to us. We went for a walk this morning and, thanks to all the bits and chunks of pine tree littering the ground, it smells like Christmas. There's a hum in the air from the occasional generator running. I saw a neighbor siphoning gas out of his car to fuel his. I wonder if they have coffee?

    Sleep all ya want, sister. What else is there to do?!

    Mmm, pine smell. Stepped out front of the house yesterday and it felt like Halloween - crisp, clear, chilly air.

    Wow...makes you appreciate having only earthquakes and fires to deal with in CA. Move to the east, deal with hurricanes...it's the law!

    Hope you got electricity by now...
