At the house we have water again, but no power. Line workers are in our neighborhood, which is promising.

Life is bizarrely normal here. Just people doing the normal stuff an hour away.
Crystal Dunn is one of the all-time great USWNT players.
Her tenacity, intelligence, speed, and tackling masked the programβs developmental issues.
Her positional flexibility is the new model.
Her leadership and presence spurred the activism that was mostly attributed to her white teammates.

A crew of randos with UTVs and chainsaws reached our neighborhood from the outside. So we might have a pathway out to the plowed roads if the many downed power lines are avoidable.

Maybe power, too, but thatβs mostly up to where we fall on the priority list and how many crews from elsewhere show up.
