[Leica] Weathering the storm

[Don Dory]

Looks cozy when you are prepared.  Like Jim, early in our marriage we were
stuck in Springfield Illinois when a large ice storm hit.  Large parts of
central Illinois, Missouri, and Iowa were blanketed in inches of ice.  No
power.  Fortunately where we were had a heatalator fireplace so by
judicious cutting of downed trees we stayed a toasty 50 degrees F.  Worked
pretty well for cooking as long as the freezers contents held out.  Good
memories after the fact.
