it was a dark and stormy night

Just read on nabe web that lights went out 10 min ago few miles away. Lights been flickering here. This always happens. I read some highway closed cause trees down. It's like the city loses its head every time there's a storm. No doubt some big tree will disroot itself. I don't remember this happening when we lived in Frisco.

Just had some maple oatmeal. Soup was chicken with wild rice. And I told you about the storm.

On the nabe web a senior wanted help pulling weeds. She said she could pay $15/hr. She got some bites. One guy said she should offer $20. For pulling weeds?! One of the most expensive services is getting a massage. I never have though I've been tempted. But they charge about $100/hr. I'm not from stock that visit masseuse's.

I'm still reading the damsel book. But it's not ideal for me. And Mr x has a team on. Mr t keeps screaming. The reason why the book isn't a good fit is because it's a different era. And it's a humorist book. You have to know the references. I can understand a Sherlock book because it's straight forward. Plus Watson is pretty dense. Things have to be explained. So in the damsel book someone will say something odd. I don't know if it's meant literally or is a funny. There's no laugh track. Not bonding with the characters either.

So I started another book to read in tandem. It's called, split second. And it's a real rip snorter. You may wonder at the odd words or phrases I use. I pick them up from the different books I've read. Or on tv. I think I got rip snorter from Mary poppins. I'm crazy for the old English. Anyway, this new book is about a fantastic discovery. They haven't said yet what it is. But it's about time travel. Going back a split second. Already the 2 scientists have been kidnapped. It's going to be a bumpy ride. So far I really like. Very exciting.

Well looks like the power didn't go off. Guess its time to toddle off. Night!
