Huzzah! I have power again! And it took much less time than I was expecting to get it back, which is always good.

It's not the lack of electricity that bothers me in situations like this. That's annoying, but survivable. It's not even the fact that it was in the high eighties today and I had no working fans. It's the lack of running water that was most problematic. Well water might taste better than municipal water, but that hardly matters when it's still stuck in the well and the pump is electric.

Running water and working plumbing. Among the greatest blessings of civilization. Don't take them for granted.

Yay! Running water, working plumbing and electricity again is a good thing. *vbg*

Yes indeedy. I'm used to outages in the winter, but this was new. And ugly. I feel bad for the people who are still out- I'd be insane by now!
