We DO love our electricity!

We were without power for almost 12 hours today. Obviously, it's on now, but it was a long day with NO computer. There were bucket trucks from the electric company all over the neighborhood. We could hear chain saws and axes and smell diesel fumes all day while we were sitting out on the porch. We heard that there were lots of trees down or likely to fall in the wooded area behind our house because of all the rain and the super-saturated ground, and that's why the guys were working. No fun, but at least we do have power now.

We did go out to dinner at our little Vietnamese restaurant (which we love), so it wasn't a total loss.
