Subject: QOTD for Wednesday, 03/01/2023

Quote of the Day for Wednesday, March 1, 2023 from Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon. Chapter 17 Possession. Copywrite 2004, all rights reserved

Sorry there was no QOTD yesterday. I was awakened at 5:50 am by a bright flash filling the sky, followed by a loud humming noise. This happened twice more, then no electricity. My first thought was transformer...but why did it flash 3 times? My next thought was EMF attack, but why would that happen in Detroit???? Background info: we have had two ice storms in a week, with many people getting their power back after 5 days, only to lose it again. We were lucky, power back on by 5:00 pm, but we're on a well, so no power, no pump, no water. The power company blamed ice on the equipment. All in all, an interesting day!

I stripped off his shoes and stockings, then loosening the buckle of his kilt, I flipped it open. His hands went reflexively to his crotch, but my eyes were focused elsewhere.

"What," I said again, "happened to you?"

Several long scratches marked his thighs, angry red welts against the pale skin. And high on the inside of one leg was what could be nothing other than a bite; the toothmarks were plainly visible.

The maid, pouring hot water, cast an interested eye at the evidence, and thought fit to put in her tuppence at this delicate moment.

"Un petit chien?" she asked. A little dog? or something else. While I was far from fluent in the idiom of the times, I had learned that les petits chiens often walked the street on two legs and painted faces.

[> I forgot the part about “le petite chien,” clever, nasty maid. Sorry about your power. It’s such a pain and it does seem like we have more ice and hardly any snow anymore. It’s hard to believe how heavy it makes the branches. -- Kathy in PA, Wed, March 01 2023, 13:43:14

[> This is a late answer to Betsy about a blog: just pop in here and write, we all love it and relate to a lot! 😊. It’s still the Social Board and QOTD. Thanks for taking this week, Janet! -- Kathy in PA, Wed, March 01 2023, 13:50:22

[> We are on a well also. It gets really hard after a couple of days. Longest we've been out is 12 days. -- kgp, Wed, March 01 2023, 15:13:05

[> [> OMG. 12 days!!!! We still burn coal so can stay warm and even heat stuff if necessary. Attacking our electric grid is my biggest “terrorism” threat. We are so dependent on it. -- Kathy in PA, Thu, March 02 2023, 4:21:01
