You talk to people.. and you sleep. Something about life without juice can be quiet nice. This weekend has been crazy and filled with a big party. I might write something later but I'm exhausted at the moment. brudberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563403553536472377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-42249631824388393812017-09-17T07:35:11.382-05:002017-09-17T07:35:11.382-05:00Not sure if my attempt is exactly what you had in ...Not sure if my attempt is exactly what you had in mind, Brendan, but it seems to be what I had.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-88223391365093036952017-09-17T01:10:29.707-05:002017-09-17T01:10:29.707-05:00First of all, thank you for an interesting prompt,...First of all, thank you for an interesting prompt, Brendan, which I have only properly read this morning. I was poorly yesterday and didn't feel up to writing. However, I did check my Kindle last night to see whether the mini challenge had been posted and this morning I found that an old post of mine was mysteriously linked to it! I'm not sure how it happened or whether to leave it, delete it or just add a new poem. I'll see what happens...<br /> Kim M.

Facebook didn't exist and no one had iPhones back then. Unfortunately, simple pleasures melt down quickly in this infernal heat (Florida has gotten hotter since, too).<br /><br />@jim - You folks in Texas got it far worse. The world goes on but ours isn't made for such powerlessness. At least the political noise has been diminished!<br /><br />@marian -- nothing is simple without juice! Took me half an hour to make coffee with an expresso pot over a can of Sterno. Rotting food sucks. <br /><br />Brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983584155125369291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-70038624136592747392017-09-16T16:48:59.189-05:002017-09-16T16:48:59.189-05:00So sorry for how hard it must be down there.

Keeping food cold and preparing food is a real issue with no power... boo. I learned in hurricane preparedness to grind my coffee beans in advance but that's about it. :) Be well!Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04030161532713347225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-52498778398854654702017-09-16T14:19:56.413-05:002017-09-16T14:19:56.413-05:00Join the club, we've been without TV, Internet...Join the club, we've been without TV, Internet/wifi/eMail, and phones now for three weeks. At first we missed it a lot. MacD's is close for Internet, et al. And our neighbor lets us log onto his but we have to use it in the dining room or upstairs by the window. We've become to cell phones only and will stay that way. Football is here so hoping TV will return and we'll drop the phone for cells only.<br />You wrote very well, Brendon, a story in miniature. I'm glad you didn't get all the rain we had, 40 plus inches, 51 in Houston.<br />..<br /> That will soon be repaired Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-77938520178265384502017-09-16T13:12:16.017-05:002017-09-16T13:12:16.017-05:00The words flew right onto the page.. thank you for...The words flew right onto the page.. thank you for the prompt, Brendan.Sanaa Rizvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681404650477409830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-44644596430876899092017-09-16T13:12:14.715-05:002017-09-16T13:12:14.715-05:00Stay cool, Brendan!Stay cool, Brendan!Maude Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669688074743095866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-43292433917465792312017-09-16T12:41:30.636-05:002017-09-16T12:41:30.636-05:00Modern life without power is drained of resources,...Modern life without power is drained of resources, isn't it? We've forgotten how to read a paper book, write a paper letter, sit outdoors and laugh at the moon...but no air conditioning in central Fla. is no laughing matter.
