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*

Yay! I was wondering about my NY friends and others in those areas hit by the blackout. Glad to know things are back to normal.

Thank you for letting us know you're ok! I have several friends back East who live in the affected areas, so I've been a bit worried.

Utmost sympathies on no gravity-feed cistern as back-up. No water totally sucks. Or rather, no electricity won't suck. :-)

Congrats on surviving and on getting your power back. Did you get my e-mail, btw, re: the Kim Possible tape?

Looks like we both lived through this! The funniest part was listening to the people on the hand-crank generator radio acting as if something REALLY terrible had happened to us, like we were 'struggling to survive' the effect of some nuclear bomb or something. It was a blackout. It lasted under 12 hours. Get the flock over it, people. If you can't coast over half a day sans power, I pity you.

When exactly did yours come back on? Where are you located, miss? It's 3AM here and we just turned on. At least I THINK it was now... I was asleep with my cthulu.
