Let the fun begin . . .

Yeah, that was supposed to be the original title for today's blog, in which I explain how I'd come up with this brilliant idea to take as many of my DVDs as I could with me by stuffing them into this CD carrier. However, during the photo uploading sequence, the power -- which had been iffy at best since the huge winds started yesterday -- decided to just go out without even so much as a polite "Excuse me." I mean, really. So I decided to get on with the packing and storing of the things that were not going with me and proceed on to the storage unit, stopping off first for lunch with friends, Tony and Jen. That's when I came upon the next image . . .


Yep, that would explain a lot. It's been surmised that the current work along the embankment by a backhoe might have weakened the ground around the poles enough that one gave way due to the high winds, causing several more to follow suit. That does sound quite plausible. As you can see, though, power to my apartment had been restored by the time I got home, which was quite timely on my part as I found out they were going to shut down the bridge for two hours at 1:30, about 45 minutes after I got back on-island. October can be a really nasty month here in coastal Maine, let me tell you. Well, back to packing.
