PECO came out today and reattached the wiring to my house, and fixed the hole in the bricks. The cracks in the mortar still exist, but these are less troubling to me, and hard to prove the cracks weren’t there before, so I’m not going to push the issue.
With the torrential downpours we’ve had over the past week, I hope there won’t be water damage where the hole was. I haven’t noticed anything, and hope my shared wall neighbor hasn’t either.
At any rate, glad this is finally fixed!

So I’ve been reading this book, Meg by Steve Alten. It’s a fun read about a former Navy deep sea submersible pilot, Jonas Taylor, turned paleobiologist. He was running missions in the Mariana Trench for the Navy with some scientists when their sub was attacked by a large creature Jonas assumed was a shark. The scientists died in the incident, Jonas survived and was given a dishonorable discharge since the Navy didn’t believe that anything had attacked their sub, and Jonas was suffering from delusions due Continue reading →
On Sunday, August 5, around 11:45am (ish) I heard a loud banging noise from outside. Immediately followed by a power outage. Upon inspection, the old pole that served up our electricity and internet had finally broken, seemingly of its own accord.
I contacted PECO and told them the pole had broken, but more than that, the wires that normally connected to my home were ripped from their mounts. A few loose bricks were also on the ground, with a hole present in the outside wall. I was instructed to avoid any of the now sagging wires for safety reasons, and that a crew was being dispatched. They knew of the outtage and that several customers were affected.
So…I decided to set up this site to allow me my own place to share my thoughts, musings, writings, pictures, travels…all the stuff I used to put up on “social media.”
But here I can better control things and avoid ads and data collection practices (at least to some extent). I might change styles, layouts, etc. as time goes on, and inspiration guides me. And, of course, you can still leave comments on my posts.
I hope you’ll visit and enjoy your stay!
