First Major Power Outage of the Season

Went to jin-shin, came home at about 2 to no 'trizzities at all. Slept and read. Got up at 5:45 to call Elizabeth. Before I did, the phone rang. It was Elizabeth. "Did you call me?" she said. I was talking with her and the power came on! I made her listen to the sound of my computer booting up -- I have an atom bomb noise on there. So... 4 hours to my knowledge.

Yesterday a power company truck was in the driveway when I came home from work. He moved, and as I passed I rolled down the window to yell, "Thank you." Half an hour later he popped up and knocked on my door -- they have to cut down a maple sprout (about 2 feet tall) and needed official clearance. We got to talking -- he and his young family had had jet skis but just sold them and bought a boat -- as jet skis are becoming unwelcome. They have jet skied here on Summit Lake. I hope this represents a new trend of forsaking jet skis for boats.
