underground utilities and I guess because this little bump in the road town is the county seat, we have our own power plant. County hospital too. If power goes off, it's never for very long, and I've made sure my heat doesn't rely on electric ignition.
But I've been hearing on the news that much of the country's experiencing the harshest winter in 20-30 years, some places even the last 50 years - and some of those records are expected to fall. So even though the exit pipe on my washing machine presently has an ice plug in the trap, things could be a lot worse. Wish me luck getting it flowing again, though, or I'll be out of clean clothes before long. My friend down the street said bring a load down to her house if I need to, although of course I prefer to do it at home.
Well, best of everything to everyone now and later. At the moment I have to shovel a path to the house so the deliveryman can bring in my new kitchen range today. I'll keep telling myself it's worth it.
