Ladies and germs, The Weather Report.

As far as yesterday's nor'easter turned out, we got... more or less... A DUSTING.

This was to be the storm that could have dropped anywhere from 3-to-6 to 4-to-8 to 6-to-12 right here.

Nearby locations and higher elevations did indeed get six inches to a foot or more, but the local weather people said this storm should make history for being the hardest to forecast. Its makeup changed continually over the preceding couple of days, and even when it got here, there was no accuracy in predicting what areas would get how much snow, or any snow at all.

So we lucked out. Tremendously. It was a gift.

At our resort, some faction of the staff seems to be on strike. They parade past our patio in boats a couple times a day with megaphone chanting and sirens, and signs. I wish them well, but it’s odd. Most things seem otherwise normal, staff-wise. And that’s your report from today in French Polynesia.

Finished Natalie Haynes’s latest, Stone Blind. I think it’s her best yet. She does feminist retellings of Greek myths. This one was a sympathetic look at Medusa. The humor was laugh-out-loud funny. Athena, for example, may be smart, but she has no social graces.
