power went out -- as i'm sure EVERYBODY knows -- about 4 p.m. yesterday. hot and muggy here in cleveland, ohio. yuk. took over an hour (usually 20 minutes) to get home with all the ASSHOLES on the road who've never heard of coming to a stop at a traffic light that's out. i guess it started coming back on in different places by early evening. not us. hot, sticky night. yuk again.
but -- and i'm not sure this is good news -- it WAS on at work when i arrived this morning. finally came back on at home at about 9:30 his morning.
it's not on fully anywhere, and rolling blackouts are happening all over; so the traffic situation sucks. don't know how long it'll take to get home, but we'll (bill's using my car today and picking me up) make it sooner or later.
mark says matt was trying to reach us last night after hearing about the blackout down in the dominican republic. we're fine, bud. not exactly cool, but fine. don't worry about us -- get back to the honeymoon. hope your ear's better, mel.
more good news: bill found an open starbucks! mmm. mocha.
Posted by Stacey at August 15, 2003 02:14 PMMakes you want to get a back-up generator for the house. Power cuts are such a major inconvenience even if it is a short one so I can sympathise with what you had to endure. Makes us appreciate the fact we do have electricity doesn't it? Even if I dont watch much TV, usually when there is a power failure, there is something REALLY good which I wanted to watch! Waiting to hear more of what transpired in the black-out.... no, Stacey, please leave that bit out - you dont have to go there!
