north in the south


Due to deep freeze temps, an electric meter that blew up and a concatenation of events that was not entirely predictable, there was no heat in the house yesterday when CBA and I arrived from Atlanta. She held the African leopard tortoise in front of the fireplace to warm it until power was restored, fortunately before the pipes froze.
We think. Because, actually, the well pump burnt out as soon as the power was restored, so the water went out. This morning, still no water, so we are off to Walmarts to buy some.

No power, then no water but internet seems to be working fine. You were hoping for a road trip and said you loved Wall Mart. it sounds like your dreams are coming true.
