I have two cats and a chicken in here ( bathroom). The cats mostly see chicks, so they are really staring at this chicken.

It might be a reaction to the warmth inside. Pines drop needles in the heat here.


Of course! Woodstove. I don't think he ever uses the furnace.
He's very prepared. Generator too.

I tried 3 times and no answer. I bet the batteries the run the exchange for the landlines near him ran out of juice. Not enough power on the line to ring his phone, but he could call out if he dialed. Website says 58 homes in the dark.
It's been pouring, so there might have been a tree or 2 come down. There is a section along the road that is sliding badly... not near the farm, but in the area of the outage.

If there are batteries, it is not a land line anymore. Landlines did not have batteries and worked with power outages.

phone company did something with my land line. They went to high speed internet and had to hook up to the phone. So it works during a power outage but it is battery backed up and only good for an hour. I didnt like this but I didnt have a choice if I wanted internet.
edit, it was fiber optic

You now have an digital phone and not a land line.

Nearly all phones are digital now and part of an internet connection.

I received a package yesterday while I was gone and when I got home Tom was pretty shook up. I guess Pita got out and went after the mail lady. He wont bite but he will jump on people and I guess it scared her pretty good. Tom was screaming at him to come back and he wouldnt. She left the package so I assume everything went ok.

that scares me in case I need to call 911 and the battery is dead.
