Just as we were all getting ready this morning, the power went out. Not just a brief flicker. Completely off.
No more clock radio news. No more bedroom light helping me to find a matching pair of socks.
The phone rang. My wife answered and spoke with her Mother, who lives a few doors away, confirming that they too had no power.
Thankfully, the coffee was already made and still hot. I'd have to grab something to eat later from TimmyHo's when we made our morning Timmy's coffee stop while driving my wife to work.
My PC and my server box were still running. Both are on a UPS, but shutdown down about 20 minutes later, after the electricity gods decided not to fix what was broken.
I sure hope we have power when I get home later this evening. I'm not really keen freezing my ass off at home.
Btw, in case you're wondering, I did manage to find a matching pair of socks.
