Dancin’ In The Dark

…ok, so we’re not dancin’

So about 7:30 tonight a transformer on a power pole blows and out goes the power to Casa Cross and about 6 other houses. I call up the power company and their robotic voice tells me the power outage will probably be fixed by 12:00…tomorrow afternoon! Bloody fucking hell!

Now, the house was chilled down to about 75 degrees, so Grace and I left the premises (so as to not raise the temp too much) and went to the nice cool Barnes and Noble bookstore for a couple of hours.

It is now after 11:00 and the house is maybe 85 degrees. Outside is maybe 92. When the two temps equalize, we’ll open the windows and try to sleep. It’s supposed to hit a low of 70 tonight, so hopefully it won’t be too bad. Of course, all our food in the fridge may be fucked before power is restored, but we’ll see.

Until tomorrow, I remain darkly and sweatily,
