Thank God for Nipsco

Who got my power back on last night in pretty damned short order.

Bleh – not a good time to be without power. Glad it didn’t last long.

City water mains are popping like 4th of July fireworks in this part of Undisclosed Locationville. They stuck a boil order door hanger in my door by the time I got home from work. Little do they know I’m shut off at the wall for now! Tee hee!

I’ll be holding my breath as I turn the works back on in the warmer morning. I’m hoping I don’t have a frozen pocket somewhere to break and flood.

It’s 40 here right now and I’m feeling sorry for myself. Guess I should quit bitchin’, huh?
Stay warm guys.

Hey, we made it above zero in the last hour. Should reach a high of 24 tomorrow.

Og, Happy to hear your power was only out for an hour, with these temps … well you know how bad it could get.

Dick, don’t think we will see 40 until the middle of next month if we are lucky.
