Hey, guys, we got power!

Dec 04, 2006

We’re back online, powered up, juiced; pick your term. The power came on just before 3:00 this afternoon. The water came back on at about the same time. Apparently, one of the water mains had frozen and burst. The water, thankfully, was only off for part of today. I cannot tell you how wonderful it was when the electric came back on. My office is still cold. It’s going to take awhile to heat it all back up, but that’s okay. I’m just blogging this to everyone to say we’re back, then I’ll go to another part of the house where it’s warmer. Smaller room, fewer windows, heats up faster. There were so many things I thought of to blog while the power was out. Some sad, some angry, some positive, but the power was out, so nothing could be done. We went out to a local book store and did some editing on the current comic script which is like due tomorrow for changes, or something close to that. I have to admit that for the first time I missed my e-mail and my on-line comics in a major way. I was reading the comics in the summer when we lost power for five days, but I wasn’t doing e-mail. I was still having Jon or Darla print out stuff. I have now graduated to reading on screen. Something I thought I would never do. I actually missed more tech than just my computer for writing. Perhaps I will not be a leadite forever. There is too much, and too many ideas came to me, and news, and nothing, just those random thoughts you get in an emergency. But for tonight, hello out there, we have power. Yea!
