Thursday night, just around dusk, 1 was sitting with my window wide open and my feet hanging and a kazillion candies lighting up the room behind me, Due to a power outage, brought about by the amount of ice that had collected on the power linos, there really didn't sceem to be anything really better to do. In mmid, it was a good idea. The experience could almost be described as a "Zen Experience~. The sky was just turning from overcast to dusk. The woods werv filled with the sound of ice sliding off the branches and crashing to the earth below.
