altivoBut 90 minutes ago a major storm front passed through here. Wind was strong but not as bad as farther east where they reported cloud rotation, penny sized hail, and three inches of rain in about ten minutes. Here one large branch bounced off the roof but no trees are down within sight of the house. Don't know about the pasture, and now it's dark. The crimson of the sunset covered most of the sky. Alas, no camera. Gary must have taken it to Chicago with him. The power was out in Harvard, because I heard it reported on the emergency services net and then later when I checked, the library network was down. It seems to have come back up about 20 minutes before closing time. Thunder continues to rumble through here even now, though all storm watches have been lifted and the rain has stopped.
I may have resolved the Elsie Dinsmore nonsense. First thing this morning I cataloged the Project Gutenberg text of the book in our library catalog, with a link on the screen so anyone who wants to read it has only to click and they can read the entire book right on their display. I'll find out tomorrow if that woman really insisted on having a copy of the book borrowed from elsewhere in the state or if she settled for the online version.
