The Goddess Spares the CB Mostly

 Apart from a water leak as indicated by water pipe noise heard in proximity to our twain toilettes, we have survived the latest NAZI-made catastrophe.  Yepper.  We have a broken pipe in addition to the one Red fixed, but we can't figure out where it is.  Where it is!

So, to enumerate the afflictions endured:  47.5 hours without heat or electricity, about 48 hours with no water,  about 12 hours with no cell phones and more than that with no wifi.  Fortunately or unfortunately, the loss of heat and electricity barely overlapped with no water.  

Also, a great deal of food was fixing to spoil and had to be thrown out or put out for the fauna.  Judging by tracks in the snow, gray fox got a half of a Peterson's ham.  Then Ray had to substitute ham fat in the suet feeders.  The woodpeckers turned up their beaks at ham and have not been seen since.  Maybe they all froze.  But the wrens, kinglets and warblers all chowed down.
