Up shortly after going to bed and took another try at the horizontal 3 hours later. Nearly made up for the lost sleep by showing up again on the vertical over 2 hours later than usual ... Held to a work schedule still, I would be running on bald tires, fumes in the fuel tank, and a shaky suspension ...
Cannot claim that I was troubled by the noise of 50 mph wind gusts but it was somewhat troubling to look out the kitchen window and see dancing tree branches. A sleeping person was killed not far away when a tree fell on his home during Wednesday's storm. Of course, being awake is no guarantee of avoiding a tree falling through the roof. Fortunately, we don't have one of those huge evergreens that near the house.
