Thank goodness Nova Scotia wasn't hammered like the Bahamas! That was gut wrenching. Your "A Not So New World" kept me up well past 2:00 am on Friday night, as I read the last 120 or so pages. You had me going with P.A.T. ~ LOL. Jack and Emily were both sympathetic characters who had me rooting for them all the way through. A claustrophobic FBI agent was very funny. I had many wonderful professors throughout my years in university, but unfortunately I had a Professor Jones type too. I had the feeling "Professor Jones" was someone in your past. Great solution to the where and when ~ I can't wait to read more in the series. Every time I look at that time machine on the cover, I have to laugh. It's so ridiculous, but somehow it's absolutely perfect! All the best, my friend!

Fortunately they were only inconvenienced ~ lost a few branches, a tree here and there. And the Smith's Cove Fire Department came through for the village! People could stop by the fire station to warm up a meal, charge their phones, have coffee, or even a shower. I was thrilled to see the power line people at work. I went back again Saturday and saw some other amazing things. Also I talked with a power company rep for about 20 minutes, and I learned a lot about the project and power in Colorado. That was a thrill too! I hope that you had a great weekend! Mine was unexpectedly busy, but so much fun! Big hugs to you and Hugh!

That seems to be very skilled and dangerous work, and each person relies on the other totally. What a thrill to be there and get those amazing photos. I wonder how many of us had no idea this was how high voltage lines are strung and the huge turntables that they run on.
