BLACKOUT REDUX
Another windy day yesterday and damned if we didn't lose power again for about 90 minutes. Those pesky branches falling on the wires.
So, it is another round of resetting the clocks and so on.
But it is good practice for the 'big one' or the apocalypse. Even 'the rapture' as I expect, as one of those that will be left behind, we won't know how to run the fucking electric company or anything else.
For now though the main problem was that I got behind on my computer work and there was no blogging to be done at all, at all.
The winds are over for now. All is quiet. I don't expect a third day outage.

BLACKOUT
High winds today, gusts up to 50 mph.
As far as I could tell we got only one gust. A ficus plant blew over and a lot of shit went into the pool.
But at 215 PM, the power went out for 90 minutes.
I did all the things that I can do without the electric: walk the dog, pay the bills, water the garden.
I was down to reading a book and the power came back on.
When we were walking, the guys were out there in the trucks and we kept seeing them as they cruised around trying to find the branches that had fallen on the lines.
A long process for a minor problem.
