Whatever my local power company did when they set up power in my neighborhood, they did it wrong on my end of the street. We lost power for 4 hours this afternoon - the entire rest of the neighborhood (other than the strip of houses near us on down) were fine. The cable company showed up and put a generator on the cable box in my front yard, so that everyone else could watch TV and use the net. Grr. This isn't the first time this has happened either - it's a fairly common thing around here. It came at a very bad time though - I was about to head out and buy supplies for tomorrow's cookout... which I put off because the power (and thus all the refrigeration) was offline. Swell - so instead, we spent the day doing yard work. It needed doing, but now I'm exhausted and sunburned. Off to the grocery store anyway, for burgers, etc....
