we just had Armageddon practice

Power out for half an hour or so in my neighborhood.

I need to get some battery-powered shit.

1. that used to happen at our place a lot, basically, we'd just look at each

other and say "Oh, it must be raining in the next county." Not the most reliable electrical system there in western OK.

no thunderstorms nearby

no wind

rained slightly earlier today

11:00 at night, so no big AC drain . . .

Personally, I blame king george and the repukes

2. My dear leftofthedial!

Good thinking!

My husband insisted on building in a generator when we built our house...

We have actually used it......a couple of times!

It's weird to have electricity when nobody else does!

:hi:
