There has been a massive loss of electricity all over southern Maine due to a small ice storm. I spent the night reading by candle light. Read some more in the morning and then went outside to chop some chunks of ice out of the driveway to bring inside for water. Filled the toilet with ice. I stuck a solar power panel in my window to charge a USB battery. It's honestly kinda quiet and peaceful. I walked into town and took pretty photos of ice covered trees. I've stopped at cafe and got a coffee and I am watching people move about.

I know here in the south there are all kinds of transplants from away who have no fucking clue how to deal with bad weather and watching them scramble around in a mild panic with their fancy electric cars and iphones when they go 12 hours without electricty is a little pitiful but also funny. The gas station is absolutely mobbed by people with nice cars and nice clothes. How's that million dollar stock portfolio helping you now?! Haha.
