These are my friends Tracy and Doug. They were happy in the midst of a wonderful wine tasting their really good wine store, Park Ridge Wine Styles was hosting. Terrific people and great wines!

After the wine tasting we settled in to watch a movie: Boom!! three sudden explosive sounds: booming like a plane breaking the sound barrier. All correct except that this was just outside our house. The transformer behind our garage was spewing sparks and shooting like a set of fireworks. Then the electricity went out. A tree had fallen onto the power lines in the alley in the next block. This fire resulted as the power lines (12,000 volt) continued in their effort to serve. We were without power for 13 hours. I was so rushed and frankly a bit frightened that I would not get injured or killed, that I did not take any time to set the camera. I just shot.
