Another Day Without Power
[Post backdated to 12/17/02]
Woke up this morning at 6AM to find the power still out. Ran generator for several hours to cool the refrigerators before leaving for work. Maria checked on neighbor Doris and offered a trip into town for breakfast. Maria went to clear the cul-de-sac drain grates but someone had already done it. Maybe Sandy, who is staying with Doris. Luckily, not much rain during the day. Maria started the generator again at 4PM. Doris did not answer when I checked on her this evening. I found she was having dinner with Ed and Claudette. Bob and Marilyn A (who are also without power) stopped by to take a shower. Printed 50 copies of the family Christmas photo on Epson Stylus Photo 780. Bill and Camie returned. Shut down the generator at midnight. This second power outage has now lasted 44 hours. "On the seventh day, God invented the generator, and saw that it was good."
