[Leica] IMG: Belated Terrible Thursday Thanksgiving pics

[lrzeitlin at gmail.com (Lawrence Zeitlin)]

Living in the Hudson Valley is a mixed blessing. True, the scenery is
beautiful and you are only a few hours away from New York City but the
Adirondack foothills on either side of the valley channel the weather into
unpredictable and often extreme patterns. Just after posting this pics of a
Thanksgiving dinner, but before I could send a note to the LUG, a strong
storm with 50 mph winds (80 kph) knocked down a very large tree at the end
of our lane. The tree fell across the service wires and took out the
electrical, phone. internet and TV feeds.  It also blocked the road so we
couldn't drive out. The temperature dropped to below freezing. Service was
restored this evening, three days later. In the meantime we experienced the
pleasures of the outdoors in our house, cooking on a butane camp stove,
huddling around the wood burning fireplace and reading with the aid of
kerosene lamps.

anxiously.
