*twitch*

Okay, we have 56 F now.  Which isn't the source of twitching.  The noon weather guy pronounced the words "ice storm" in connection with tomorrow night.  Which does fit this pattern, but . . .

No matter what your eyes may tell you, "ice storm" is a four-letter word in Maine lingo.  One of our previous experiences left us without power for a week.  This, right in the heart of our Major Metropolis.  We have a wood-fired stove in the parlor and kerosene lamps on call, for good reason.

I think I speak for all of us in saying, "May the ice be little and transient."
