Rain, rain, rain!

A weekend, a day of rest. The electricity problems abound, though. Rain has hit the area hard, and that - or rather the lightning - has seriously disrupted the village's electricity. Marthame attempted to prepare for his college class (which begins Monday). As soon as the electricity would come on, he would turn on the computer. As soon as it booted up, the electricity would shut off again. This pattern of mockery continued for several hours until Marthame gave up. We resigned ourselves to reading (there's no going visiting today) and watching the spectacular rains until it was too dark to do either. The whole area is out of electricity. It may be frustrating, but there's no arguing with its beauty.
