We had the second power out of the season last night. It wasn't that bad, except that, being from winds and not rain I wasn't expecting it and thus hadn't dug out my little decorative lanterns yet. Everything else was where it was supposed to be, candles, flashlights, matches, 5 gallon water drums. But the big kerosene lantern needs a new chimney, and I don't have any kerosene for it anyway, nasty stuff that it is to store. Sooooo last night was very, very boring. Candles don't provide enough light for me to do anything by, so I sat around and sent rambling texts to sleeping people until my thumbs were sore. Don't know how I would have lived in ye olde days. What I really need is a REAL lantern for candles. The kind that has mirrors inside it and makes the light bright and dispersed but not so bright it gives you vision spots like a candle. Too bad I can't wander down to Ye Olde General Store to pick one up. Guess I will have to consult google.
Oh, and some lady hit my sister's car when it was parked in the parking lot, I guess proving that my family has terrible automotive luck, and I should probably not lend any cars to them, ever. She also got what had to be the WEIRDEST note ever on her car...when it was parked in the lot of the school Halloween carnival they took Sammy to. It was like an entire page of completely insane rambling and archaic words and terrible grammar that made no sense to tell her that her car was parked 'improperly', when it was right where the attendant had pointed them to. In amongst a whole row of parked cars. None of which had notes. I'm almost tempted to think it was a RL troll of some kind. It really...boggled the mind to think anyone would have written that seriously.
