Once more into the ...

Our power went on vacation, again this morning, for about four and a half hours. The automated system accepted responsibility for the power company's equipment being damaged. I guess it was. At the road named after a bird, the traffic was being directed by the authorities instead of the traffic signals.

How do I know this?

We had not had breakfast and I visited Mickie D- to forage, so to speak. Our morning coffee was only half made when
water stopped trickling through. The microwave declined to operate on the basis that if the coffee maker didn't have to go to work, it must be a holiday. Sad.

Power is back on, now, and the automated system checked to see if we were okay with it.

That computer really likes us ....

Wow, what a way to start the weekend. We managed not loose power on the street named after a double crazy eights. We did notice rain between 2 and 4 am this morning. The birds looked sad when they held their wings out to the side, so their feathers could dry. Hopefully, your freezer could withstand the test of time with the frozen dinners. Did you pull out the hurricane supplies? Just send FPL the bill for any items lost due to lack of customer service.

The freezer and the 'fridge weathered the power loss in good shape. The ice in the ice-maker didn't even stick together which was a good sign.

We did pull out the battery operated fans. If we have another 'cane, there is the possibility that I shall do nothing but sit in front of my fan for the duration.

I hate these Hurricane disaster drills.
