Default Power Outage

After three days with no electricity...our lights are back ON!!!! I almost about died two days ago. It was hot as a hellhound and I was a cranky mess at best.

We had a bad storm on Monday night and it struck a tree which ripped up two poles and knocked down lots of wires. The lights are on...but the cable is off in my area and in some other counties so that means no internet unless I go to work.

Anyway, I'll be checking in during the day until Comcast gets it together.

Finally! You had to rough it a bit and live without the taken-for-granted every-day ammenities like power, cable, internet (I have a Sprint broadband card besides my ADSL and use it when nothing else is available... try it).

And it made you show up at the office, golly! Your workmates must have had a collective heart attack.

Hot? Ever heard of hand-held fans? Hold one firmly in a hand and launguidly sway it back and forth to effect a nice wave of more or less cold air... my grandma used that and never complained.

Cranky, you? never!

Yep, I had to rough it. It was like being back in DR when they used shut off the power after 6pm every evening and it was bad because my parents didn't have their own generator. Hey, I'm still alive and it's all good.
