Well, it's been a *week* hasn't it...?

 ...and it's only Wednesday.

We've been extremely lucky here at Chez FitzGerald. We've had power the whole time (as had our office space)--knock wood.

Unfortunately, several of my close friends as well as writers groups friends have not been as lucky and have been without power and heat and some without water. One friend's pipes burst just this morning.

*sigh*

It's been a huge mess here in Texas and, no, the large wind turbines scattered across West Texas are not to blame. People are to blame. Somewhere, somehow, people made decisions without enough information, without thinking through the consequences and establishing contingency plans and here we are...

2021--adding insult to the injury of 2020...

There's not much "in other news" that's good...except, I guess, that in less than a week, temperatures (highs and lows) will rise above freezing and stay there going forward. Then begins the aftermath of picking up yet more pieces.

I'm sorry--this isn't a very positive post, but a lot of things just suck right now, and not acknowledging that seems disengenuous.

So...hope you're someplace warm and safe...and we'll check back on Friday...

Take care...
