It's like camping in your own home, but not.

So around the time I generally pick up the 'bean before I make dinner, the power goes out. That was probably around 3:30 to 4pm and it's still not back up (11:16). We drove around for a while just to find a restaurant that still had their power just so we could eat dinner (and I had some awesome Tilapia and Tiramisu at Vinny's).

We have a generator going which powers certain rooms, the fridge, and the garage door, but sadly not the water. :( This makes me sad. However, it has certainly been an interesting evening, which I mostly spent chatting with Tanaka who can make me laugh until there are tears in my eyes. Turns out he'll be in town around the 4th so I look forward to that.

I also just brushed my teeth and washed my face in a bucket which is a new experience. The water is what I particularly miss considering I still have a working iPhone, 3G network, and even a hall light. Hopefully someone will turn on the generator for the street's waterpump at some point or, even better, the power will return.

All of this because of high winds.

Wait!!

:D

I think we may be back on the grid! Do they have this trouble in Tron?
