Fredonia, New York - Christmas, 2006


Telecommuting from Fredonia
Not a bad gig. Fireplace roaring, windows with a view to the pond and the woods, quiet and away from the family hustle & bustle of Christmas.

Boogie Woogie John
Christmas Boogie at the keyboard.

Christmas Eve Excitement

What happened?!
A big power line fell to the forest floor across the road. No one had power anywhere along the road & the wet leaves in the woods smoldered at the point of contact with the line. Eventually, small fires broke out where the leaves had dried. You could see exactly where the power line had fallen by following the line of smoke and fire through the woods. Total time with no power - 8 hours. No major fire & no problem. By Christmas morning, all was well.
