Power

This is what the dam at Union Falls looks like right now. The power company generates electricity from this, although the only time it EVER looks like this is in the spring. I have a friend who monitors the generator--he does it from home, on his computer (he only lives about a tenth of a mile down the road anyway) and he says it takes 10 minutes a day.

Anyway, sometimes there's hardly any water, just a trickle coming over the dam. I wish my family could see it like this. Henry would have really liked it, and Molly would stand on the bridge, listening to the roar and getting wet from the spray. I think JP may have seen it this way
