The two best things about the hurricane

1. After it passed, the Baronette and I went for a walk around the neighborhood--and so did everybody else. I've never seen my neighborhood with even a tenth that many people out and about.

2. With about half of the state electricitiless, it was dark last night. I could see stars! Not, like, all of them, but a hell of a lot more than usual.

ha, yeah, I had to go out in the car yesterday morning, and I felt like I was violating some unwritten code...

That was the best part by far about the blackout a few years back, not having to drive 500 miles to see a rich field of stars.
