Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky
I got to the 'berry early yesterday as usual hoping to get in some FB time. No power. We later found out that a transformer for our building was trashed around 4:00 AM. We worked with backup lighting until 1:30 in the afternoon. Nothing but shelving, since we couldn't do anything else. Oh, my tired eyeballs. We were in the process of getting computer networks ready and everything else necessary to reopen the place when we were told to take shelter due to a Tornado Warning. Our IT department called us with the heads up. Glad we had power back before this next crisis. We hadn't opened yet, so the public in the rotunda went into the public storm area, while most of the staff was in the back in the designated areas. We finally opened around 3:00. Fun day.
The tornado in S. Minneapolis damaged 40 homes, the convention center, a church, several businesses including The Electric Fetus, but not

I had today off and got to watch more pouring rains and howling winds. Sigh. I did see that Freewheel Bikes is having a sale starting tomorrow on snow tires for the mountain bike. I'm getting some more gear to wear in colder weather tomorrow. Gotta love sales. The weekend sounds nice for riding, but I'm selling books both days.
I'm halfway through Cape Storm by Rachel Caine. Good story so far. Perfect reading for a rainy day.
