Flesh eating fungus!

Just kidding with the title 

The weirdest thing happened the other day. I write about power outages and poof, get to experience one.  I really hope it isn’t the start of a trend or I am going to be looking over my shoulder a lot since I want to look into everything from wild animal attacks to fire. Anywho, the power was a breaker blowing type dilemma caused by what I assume was the combination of cooking, the space heater, and computer all being on. It was strange though, all the lights went out in the main living area but not the stove. It continued to cook and I mean really cook the hamburger for the spaghetti while we were fumbling with the interesting labeling on our breaker box… Note: check your labels. Make them clear and organized. Another thought would be any large electronics and surge protection. My computer has a surge protector of the minor type. I need to get a larger one but the bank account isn’t really cooperating at this point. I might do a bit here soon on good possibilities on a budget.

So it has been getting progressively icy driving out there, snow and frost and fog included. I’m putting together a little emergency pack for winter driving. Tire chains, blanket, warm hat and gloves, tiny shovel, maybe a few cliff bars and those weird hand heaty things and most importantly water. Any other thoughts of what to include?

Hang in here with me for a bit. This learning the ropes of blogging feels like trying to kayak across the Atlantic.Videos soon to follow, my camera was eaten so photos might be a little less likely..
