Up early doing a little prep for some possible power outages today. We have high wind warnings from noon till almost midnight. The ground is wet and more rain on the way and wind gusts of 60 mph give us a fairly good shot at losing power.
I’d be shocked it we didn’t have at least a short outage. I haven’t even finished picking up all the downed branches from last week’s winds. If we do lose it, I hope it’s able to be restored before the mid-week snow is expected. The number of multiple day outages has decreased in recent years, but we have experienced several of them over the decades here.
I just finished scheduling a post for Monday and I’ll get one ready for Tuesday just in case. I hope I can finish a few posts today also if we are one of the lucky areas that can come through unscathed.
To the power line techs out in this weather, thank you and please be safe. As well to the other emergency personnel who are always out and about every day.
Medical
I used to look at the United States as a leader in the world in medicine. Well that just came to an abrupt halt with RFK Jr. being installed as HHS Secretary. If you’re not terrified at that thought now. Give it time, you will experience it.
I always relied upon my own doctors because they kind of went along with the standard recommendations of our country. My trust in this administration’s ability to give me factual information is about zilch.
Do I feel safer with him in charge? NO. I just can’t see this ending well for many people. We might be about to witness how deadly ignorance can be.
Random Thoughts of the Morning
- Just apply yourself and see what happens.
- Take a sip of life, if it burns, find a chaser.
- I was noted throughout my professional career as being outspoken from time to time. I might have to bring that part out of retirement.
- Despite the threat of bad weather, I feel a productive day ahead. On the other hand if I lose power I could miss the Maryland game and the SNL 50 year show which would really give a bad start to the week.
