Today was very strange! The town had no cable, internet, phones, including cell phones for 10 hours. The banks shut down and there were only a few ATM’s working. I was getting any information from the radio via our local radio station. They were saying that something was wrong with the fiber optics? I have no clue how all of that works. The town was isolated for those 10 hours. We could send a message out from the radio station if it was urgent. Don’t know how?? Anyways it was a eye opener and makes you realize what you take for granted. My oldest Daughter text me saying that they are coming up on the 24th and going home on Sunday. It will be the same people as Thanksgiving plus my ex-son-in-laws Mother will be joining us from Nevada. I am sure we will be doing some hiking and fishing. I don’t know why but I have been real lonely the last few days. Maybe it is the holidays. I know I will feel better once the crowd comes for Christmas.
