Bad power outage

[Haleylvr4evr]

There was a big storm a few days ago and knocked out all the power in my area. Of all times it HAD to be during a week when we have 90-100 degrees.....doing ok though. Brought my laptop to mcd's but I have very limited internet access so bear with me as I try to catch up on Haley news. ComEd says it should be back around 11pm tomorrow night. This is day #3.
See you when I can, and say hi to Haley for me if she does an event somewhere!

Here in the Northwoods of Minnesota we were hit last night by big thunderstorm and power went out for 8-1/2 hours. I now have 4G cell coverage on AT&T in the middle of nowhere. In the dark, candles burning and I'm surfing the Internet like a wild Samoan. Who'd a thunk it's even possible...

^ Which begs the question...When the power goes out, would you bet on a Swede with a chainsaw and ladder in the Northwoods or a gaggle of teamsters in Chicago to restore the power?

They even work in the dark up here...probably have torches to see. I suggest you make a campaign contribution to the Mayor Daley reelection fund to get your power turned on.

I guess there are worse things than the grey overcast of Washington State to worry about it. Glad things didn't get too bad.

Indeed! But we probably better keep that under our hats, lest others think we're complaining or, worse yet, gloating!

I'm already a glass half empty kinda guy....I need the sun to counter that (especially when the summer dresses come out )
The grey is so oppressive.

But in general, there have been disastrous weather issues all over the States in recent years (global warming, Mayan apocolypse?), and the worst we get *fingers crossed* are windstorms and a couple days, maybe a week, of heavy snow fall....so ya....could be much worse.

BTW, not weather, but hopefully our Haliens in Colorado are OK

It's odd. I spent my first five years of life in Yuma, Arizona, then my dad retired and my family moved to Eastern Washington. I never, ever adjusted to winter there and was absolutely miserable. I've been in Seattle 19 years now, and acclimating to the mild climate here was just too easy. BTW, what you referred to as a "heavy snowfall" here isn't even a heavy snowfall -- Seattle is just not equipped to deal with any snowfall (in any way, shape, or form).

I don't mind the cloudiness at all. That said, I can empathize with those who would like to see the sun a bit more.

And, yes, I hope our Haliens in all distressed areas (whether weather- or fire-related) are OK.

Isit true that the suicide rate is high in Seattle because of the lack of sunlight.?
