Still no power
Jan. 10th, 2008 11:19 amDay two of no electricity and thank heavens for public libraries.
Actually, it's nostalgic to come back here... I worked at this library when I was in high school in the mid- to late-90s. :D Some of the staff still recognizes me. I'm here with my power strip and all my gadgets plugged in and recharging. My phone was almost dead after doubling for a flashlight all evening long. *grin*
Last night was fun. I bundled up in a couple of layers and burrowed under a mountain of blankets. It reminded me of winters in my apartment in Japan -- no central heat there, either, and I was too stingy to buy a kerosene heater (plus I wasn't too keen on the fumes). I'd wear a hat and scarf and gloves to bed....
Still, I don't think anything will ever beat the ice storm in '91. That one was crazy. We didn't have power for almost two weeks, if I remember right.
Apologies for not getting emails answered right away. I'll try to get through as many as I can before I have to go get my brothers so we can go out somewhere for lunch.
ETA: Yay! Power back!
