Still have power! Flickered a few more times and the internet cut out for a minute (which caused me some issues trying to connect to my network again) but so far, so good.

Even more wind and rain. Still have power, but it keeps flickering a bit. Might not have it much longer.

The wind is still picking up speed and a few branches are down. We still have power though for right now. Too dark to take a picture of the yard. I'm playing Slingo while I still can.

It's hurricane season! As I ride out Hurricane Matthew, I'll try and keep this blog updated every so often, electricity and Internet permitting.
So far, we've seen the outer bands of the storm bring us some rain and not much else, though the wind is picking up. Below is a shot of our yard as it is at the time of this post (about 6:20PM). I probably won't be able to take another one tonight since it's getting dark, but we'll see.

Happy September, everyone! I can't believe I'm already saying that. It seems like summer just started.
Just today I got something that I've been wanting to get for a long time. Introducing the Sony D-5 Compact Disc Compact Player!
First released in 1984 at $350, the Sony D-5 (D-50 in international markets) was the world's first portable CD player.
As a fan of vintage audio stuff and a Sony collector, I had to have one of these. The sound isn't anything special, though it does sound lightyears better than the cheap portable disc players in stores today.
I'll probably keep this unit on my desk for when I want to listen to CDs through headphones while I'm working on things.
