Fending off the darkness
Brief, powerful storm passes through
Solstice is approaching, and so is my fiftieth year. December roars in with the sounds of a really big, fast thunderstorm tearing through southern Maine about 8:30 this evening. This house just shook. Looks like all the trees are intact, though.
More seasonable weather will return now, after almost two weeks of very warm conditions. It felt almost tropical last night.

Ha! Just about blew my grill right off the porch. Glad you made it through–likely to be the first of many…

I’ve settled back in down to Pittsburgh and my return home has re-reminded me of how important it is to consistently check back here. The analysis, of course, is sharp as always, but what makes it especially and particularly important to me is these Friday posts - a window on my hometown, or at least as close as I could hope to have from 1,000 miles away. Thanks, Eric, for this and more.
