Let this quote influence your entry today: One evening in August you have an errand outdoors, and all of a sudden, it's pitch-black. It is still summer, but the summer is no longer alive.” Tove Jansson![Merit Badge in BCoF 2

Congratulations on your virtual blogging adventure!](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-BCoF_2-1901868_14.gif) Greetings from Apondia: We had a Wi-Fi event. We have been on the same system for a lot of years. It finally could not take the last heavy rainstorm and simply stopped bringing in a signal. After a visit from a friendly technician, we are up and surfing on the web again. Before that my computer simply stopped booting again.  No idea why  So, I am on K's computer today. WHY I stand pondering the weather. It is only 5 p. m. The glorious picture window is showing the force of the winds. Looking at the  on the wall, then out the wide picture window. Such blustery winds revving up were not blowing only a few minutes before. Rushing the dogs outside to give them a chance to do their business if a storm is blowing in from the west. The dogs returned quickly with tails between their legs rushing through the door. Even turning with a whine to look behind them. The car is sitting out. It needs to be put in the garage. With keys jangling in one hand, then stumbling down the porch steps in a rush. Should have brought a flashlight, it's pitch dark out here. Fumbling to sort out the keys and get the proper one in the ignition. No. That one does not fit. The air is black. Need a light!! Car started, what a relief. Lights are not functioning. Oh! They are turned on just not penetrating the dark heavy air. Gratefully, the garage door went up. Now, it won't come back down. Flipping switches for garage lights, they don't work, and door will not descend. Leave it! Get back to the house. Outside the wind has shifted. It is gusting up to 65 mile an hour from the East. Aahg! That tree shifted when I leaned against it. Grabbing a branch that lay on the ground to use as a crutch is helping. Good thing the garage is only a few yards from the house. These steps are slippery because of the pelting rain. Glad I made it back to the house. Never saw it so black outside before. THE END |
