I only lost power for some 42 hours and discovered how much I miss having water (my apartments are on a well which is powered by electricity), not to mention heat ( Read more... ) -
I saw a cow!
And unlike Frank's, some of them really were cows. Yesterday I made my annual pilgrimage to the Hopkinton State Fair to drink maple milk, look at animals, and watch ox-pulls. I managed to take in parts of three pulls and the whole of two exhibitions of oxen.
