The gale was followed by a calm, heavy, wet snowfall. Trees
are falling
on power lines, and we're repeatedly losing power.
We've managed to keep everything up so far by carefully
managing our
battery life (last night wasn't one of my better nights for
sleep ... ),
but it looks like we may be in trouble if the current outage
lasts more
than another couple of hours.

I'm about to try 4-wheel driving it out to Bakersfield or Los
Angeles to
buy a generator. Thanks to the folks who are doing a little
impromptu
fund-raising, and wish me luck with the drive ... -B
