I've been a bit absent lately and I have decided that I will blame my absence on last week's stormy weather. True, it played a large part in keeping me busy over the past week, but it is also true that this has been one very hectic holiday season!
So back to that big storm. It arrived on December 14th, with winds gusting to 90 mph or higher in the Portland area. Over 1.5 million people in western Oregon and Washington were left with no power - some for days on end.
Our lights did little but send us flickering signals of the chaos on other parts of the electricity grid. And so while many of my neighbors around the county were sitting in darkness, my Christmas lights were cheerfully coloring my corner of the world.
