Power

[SRW]

This has nothing to do with softball, but...

Some areas up here in the Seattle area are still without power from last Thursday's storm. I'm one of them. Just finished my 5th night with a 45 degree house. I lost power Thursday night 6pm, and haven't seen a power truck at all. Lots of trees in power lines, downed poles, power poles that have literally broken in half and the top is hanging from the wires... it's bad.

Luckily I have a fireplace that keeps the living room warm during the fire, but the bedroom is still chilly. Found a generator up in Everett (about 60 miles away), so I was able to get that running and save the food in the freezers. Couldn't save the refrigerator stuff in time, however. The water district had a water leak in the main in the street above my property - and water runs downhill... had to clean out my yarddrain at the base of the driveway twice a day because the leak was carrying silt and sediment down my driveway. They finally fixed that yesterday. Spirits are slowly fading...
