Posting is light this week. We have been without power at home since the weekend as the remnants of Hurricane Ike passed through Ohio. I write blog posts in the morning between the children heading off to school and coming in to work, or in the evening. Not at the moment 😉  
As I have mentioned before, we live beside a branch of Columbus Metropolitan Library. It is on a different circuit and has power. It is hopping, as people come to ‘fill up’ on power … here is what the Columbus Dispatch had to say this morning ….

> Like moths to a flame, Clintonville residents converged yesterday on a corner of Whetstone Park for a collective power trip.

> The Whetstone branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library and adjacent lighted tennis courts were literal beacons of light last night in a neighborhood otherwise bathed in dark. \[[The Columbus Dispatch : Whetstone library keeps residents charged](https://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local%5Fnews/stories/2008/09/17/library.ART%5FART%5F09-17-08%5FA6%5FG3BBO4K.html?type=rss&cat=&sid=101&ref=lorcandempsey.net)\]
