I’m killing an hour before I make the trek over to my daughter’s house to run their generator when the power goes out. They’re off in Monterey, having fun-which is rare enough for them lately that I didn’t want them to have to stay home.

This will, theoretically be a good chance to catch up on some reading. Last time PG&E cut the power Comcast was out for the duration as well, so there won’t likely be TV or internet. And I can take a walk or two since I don’t have to be staring at the generator every second. Plus, since I’ll be there, the cat will get his wet food this evening instead of (boring) kibble. He will be surprised to find me sleeping there.

I will also get a vacation from news, political and otherwise. Not that there will likely be a whole lot over the Sat. evening/Sun. time frame.
