Abominable

Well, the power went out around 11:30, wasn't restored until after 4:30. Didn't affect the firing--the kiln is natural-draft--but it did kinda limit what I could do to pass the time meanwhile, mostly because the Art Center WiFi went down with it, and I can only sit in a folding chair and read for so long.

So I shoveled their sidewalk and handicapped ramp, squelched around the neighborhood, and made the acquaintance of this fine fellow, who was quite sad to find the gallery closed.
