And on the 12th Day...There Was Light

#1 Postby MWatkins » Fri Nov 04, 2005 1:54 pm

After a really long inconveinence....the lights came on this morning at home. That crew has been working on putting in those poles and stringing the wires for 3 straight days...I really expected/was planning for a 3 week outage with all of the damage we sustained to the power grid here...but thankfully...it was shorter.

So the water heater is charging up and I will get a hot shower for the first time in forever tonight...

Excellent...

Hope everyone is doing OK.

Watching a TV where I can read the crawling text at the bottom was good too. I could watch my mini-TV, but with a screen only a few inches large, no way could I read the scrolling words.

And having the microwave back was heaven. :)
