Luckily, as you see, it came back on. It may be gone again.
And the temperatures are going up near 80 in the next few days.
I will have a twofer. I can bitch about the heat and the ice. My apartment gets hot.
Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
Robert Frost
