Earlier this morning, Monday, we went out to the grocery store hoping to buy some items as our power came back on yesterday while we were sightseeing. We found the cases empty. No produce, no deli, no meat, no dairy. Seems the grocery store needs to install a generator (us too!). Wouldn't that be better than having food go to waste?

The trip wasn't wasted, however. On the way home we noticed a logger working. We stopped, introduced ourselves, explained that we had a big tree come down in the storm, and asked if he might be able to help us out. He said he'd be happy to, followed us home, and after looking at the job said he'd come back in 30-45 minutes to start cutting.
