8:35 a.m. - Friday, Jul. 18, 2003 The reason I didn't know what time it was is that the power went out yesterday evening, and in finding and setting my little wind-up alarm clock I somehow got confused and set it an hour behind. A very violent storm passed through Grand Bluff not long before I got home: violent enough to knock a tree down onto a power line and cause a big back-up on Grand Boulevard. I was actually frightened, as I got closer to home, that when my own house came into view there would be a gigantic elm lying on top of it. There was no gigantic elm lying anywhere, however; just lots of hail, some of it about 1" in diameter. I missed that storm, but another one came soon after, knocking out the power and generally inconveniencing me. � |
