Because of the heat wave we are POSSIBLY having power brownouts in my area. I’m crossing my fingers that all will be well, but I wanted to let you guys know that at any time I could lose internet. We’ve never had brownouts here before so I don’t really know what to expect.

I know in years past we relied on the honor system to write down the time we wrote the poem and to post them when the power came back on (fortunately I was always able to post my poems but it seems the poetry marathon often has interesting things occur around it :))

I can see if I can go on fb with my phone and post there to prove that I’m still posting, but I’m not sure if the internet will be up if the brownouts happen. I’m in Canada and our internet towers are independent of the power so it’s even possible that we may lose internet and keep power. We aren’t used to these temperatures at all here, everything is new here for temperatures like this. I’m not sure if we have ever had temps like this before here!

It’s coming up to the hot part of the day, I’m not sure if it’s more likely to be then or when people sit down to enjoy the evening when brownouts would happen. If anyone has experience with brownouts I would be happy to get advice on handling them.

Wish me luck and power and internet!
