X minus 2 and Counting
On December 21 at precisely 7:22 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, winter begins in the Northern Hemisphere. Less than 2 days to the solstice. I love the solstice... or at least I love knowing that the miserably short days are getting longer. As I've said before, I understand completely the pagan drive to set a huge log on fire and dance around it naked. Some deep primeval urge makes me want to do it. I probably won't do it, but only because the neighbors have been polite this year.
Today the power came back on after being off for 110 hours. We chopped wood, carried water, put the perishables on the back porch (freezing weather) and lit the house with hurricane candles and oil lamps. We heated water on the wood stove and bathed with wash cloths. Now the well is working the water is hot and that HVAC is controlling the climate.
Screw primitivity, I like my comforts. What would you call me? A "post industrial techno-enabled sun worshipper"?
