For two hours, the electricity flickered which is worrisome as I sleep in a powered recliner that is un-get-out-able except when upright.  A very small backup battery maybe promises one lift out, but just in case, I slept sitting-up which I considered a surely doable half lift.  A friend with a Verizon cell phone (AT&amp;T  doesn\u2019t work in TH) was ready to come running at my call,  but the flicks never stretched into an outage.  So with a little nap today, all is well.  A neighbor said that Hart\u2019s Neck (across the harbor; see webcam) lost power, but it\u2019s still sunny so I haven\u2019t seen any absence of light.<\/p>\n<p>And once again the Sea Street roadside gully handled the inch or two of rain.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lh6.ggpht.com\/-_EqlgaZ-v2I\/TVH50pCmrzI\/AAAAAAAAC6Y\/YbWMGUbU7Ek\/IMG_2413.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[850]\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lh6.ggpht.com\/-_EqlgaZ-v2I\/TVH50pCmrzI\/AAAAAAAAC6Y\/YbWMGUbU7Ek\/h480\/IMG_2413.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2413.jpg\" width=\"420\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The wind and the rain came through.  I still have my book.  All&#39;s right with the world.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The lobster boats stayed put, and I don\u2019t know where the yachts on rental moorings went, but summer runabouts were hauled, as truck after truck lined up at the public landing to do their end-of-summer duty.  Yikes!<\/p>\n<p>The wind swirled in from the southwest which is the closed end of the harbor.\u00a0 So the wind pushed the water out of the harbor which was a relief at high tide time to those right on the water.  As a winter-Midwesterner, may I  say that the wind was a modest blow at best, but I did put the porch chairs away for the day.  So overall, a big whew!<\/p>\n<p>Today Roseledge Books and the world nearby dried out with a sunny, cool breezy, end-of-summer day, but weather for the coming week is to be sunny, 70\u2019s, and a bit of summer backlash, I hope. More book and reader news next time.<\/p>\n<p>( <strong>Comment reply<\/strong>: RB has no insulation which means that however damp Roseledge insides get during foggy or humid days, the breezes sweep right through the single-board walls and dry it out in minutes &#8212; or so it seems.  Having no insulation is one big reason I have only paperbacks and the reason they only curl, but never mildew.  And paperbacks weigh less than a six-pack, the sailors assure me.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roseledge Books made it through the weather event almost unscathed.
