A Lefty Writes

Last night while I was out at dinner a tree fell right next to my apartment. (Yeah, first a plane, now this.) When I tried to return home I was impeded by cops and firemen who had blocked off a large chunk of the street because of downed power lines (not to mention a large tree). I was able to get into my apartment, but had no power. The cats were a bit spooked. I imagine the noise of the tree falling freaked them out a little.

Fortunately the road was cleared and power restored overnight, so no big deal. Also, aside from a fence, there was really very little property damage and no one was injured. So this could have definitely been worse.
