We got power back at 6.00p.m. after not having any since Sunday 1.00p.m. or so. That's the longest, I think, since we moved here. It was very trying, but 2 things come to mind. First, although it was inconvenient, it was in no way as difficult, as miserable, as all those poor folks in Texas. To think that they don't have enough food while we are throwing it out or are trying to grill we can. Ademas, it wasn't all that bad except for how to deal with food. We had hot showers (gas). We could buy ice. We spent plenty of time outside on a week when the weather was 75F and perfect every day. The cooking, though, was complicated. That's the part that felt like camping, every meal on open fire. It was an experience, but I'm glad it was an experience in the past and that we now have the juice of modernity.
I have some pics to load at some point, but tonight I intend on going to bed early under the blissful power of the Cpap machine. Ah, heaven. Wednesday's ride was to an errand, to the Irish Rover for a non-grill meal and then a noodle around Crescent Hill, St. Matthews, Seneca and then home in the dark. Today I did some hot laps during 'L's soccer practice. I'm thinking about doing a 'cross race in October just for kicks.
