The Snow & Ice Storm Hit Us Hard

About 10 minutes after I posted this today, my power went out again and it is still out three hours later. They now have a standard text that says everybody will have their power restored by Friday, although many of those people will have it before then. 

For the first time in a long time the storms in the forecast included us where there was hope it would stay south of the Ohio River and North of I-64. It did not and it was worse than I expected. This photo was taken at 8:38pm Sunday night ... we had lost all power eight minutes earlier. It turned out to be an experience and a new list of things I need the next time it happens.

Not Much Went On Today

I cannot get over how well Cletus is settling in here. He came housebroken and I had a test for him today. I needed groceries plus a run to The Donut Bank to buy some celebration pastry to eat. I was gone for almost an hour, where I left him and all the adult hounds, and dog in the house with access to the backyard. When Ava saw me getting ready to leave, she grabbed her Nylabone and went into her crate without any command.
