[Leica] Weathering the storm

[Jim Nichols]

Great set of images to look back on when the weather is warmer.

My option for such occasions is a fireplace with gas logs, powered by 
the local underground natural gas distribution system. My wife and I 
insisted on this option after living through an ice storm at the end of 
January 1951 at which time fallen, ice covered, branches caused a 
week-long power outage in Mississippi and Tennessee.  We had been 
married for a week, and were living in temporary college housing that 
had been provided for returning veterans from WWII.  Fortunately, we had 
a kerosene heater and a gasoline cook stove in the converted trailer.
