Then again, I feel sure he would not mind if I had to feed him extra food so it didn't spoil. ;)Elizabeth Halthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595395276757245598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758726916662904350.post-5459863193019741772011-09-10T15:24:51.233-07:002011-09-10T15:24:51.233-07:00P.S. gotta' get together + catch up soon:)P.S. gotta' get together + catch up soon:)soraya nulliahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14163510829390285349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758726916662904350.post-43321560054549250752011-09-10T15:24:28.448-07:002011-09-10T15:24:28.448-07:00Dear Patty-I totally know what you mean!!

But late into the night, when I should have been sleeping, I went outside, and just LOVED the dark sky, the stars, the bright moon...no artificial light...so beautiful. janeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758726916662904350.post-13677580959677460022011-09-09T19:50:39.762-07:002011-09-09T19:50:39.762-07:00It has surprised me how fragile the power grid is ...It has surprised me how fragile the power grid is here in the States. During those ten years I have lived in California I experienced more power outages than during 40 years in Germany. Yes, we do have an entire emergency shed that would bring us through a week - after that, it'd get tight. Let's hope we'll never need it.Carola Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536486322412234854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758726916662904350.post-59253864546273392592011-09-09T18:36:53.732-07:002011-09-09T18:36:53.732-07:00Even in darkness you seem to capture some terrific...Even in darkness you seem to capture some terrific photos. I usually check out your blog at the end of the day because it is so relaxing to read the story behind your photos.<br /><br />Our son was also caught in the blackout, he works in Temecula and had to get to SFC. He arrived at 3:30 AM and fortunately had sufficient gas to get him to Orange County or he would have missed his meeting entirely and the load of products he had to deliver.<br /><br />We are never prepared for these events....You set a good example for all of us.
