When we woke up, it was darker than a black hole wearing sunglasses!\u00a0 It was darker than the inside of a cat! I half expected to bump into my own coffee mug and have to negotiate a peace treaty with my slippers!<\/p>\n
There is no power again. We are getting used to going outside in the early morning, collecting wood from the neighbor’s house, starting a fire, and having coffee.<\/p>\n
The generator and I are having quite a love affair! I open the gascock and put his rope in, and he purrs like a kitten! Hundreds of killy-wobbles support the generator through the lines, making the refrigerators hum like a beehive.<\/p>\n

Go, baby, go!<\/p><\/div>\n
We fixed breakfast for Jeff and brought it to him; we joined him in getting our own!\u00a0 We took his battery backup, which was at zero, and plugged it into our generator, and within three hours, it was fully charged.<\/p>\n
More bad news about the fires, and I thought this appropriate.\u00a0 Newscum and his whack environmentalists save a useless fish, do not clean up the forests, defund the police and firefighters, and push DEI and other liberal crap on us… this is what you get!<\/p>\n
Ready for this…According to the report, homelessness funding was larger than the LAFD budget for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n

This idiot should be horsewhipped!<\/p><\/div>\n
The power finally returned around 2:00 p.m. We cleaned up all the cables, moved the generator out of the way, reset the clocks, and sat to watch a new American Primeval series. The series examines the fight to gain control of the American West and the sometimes violent clash between religion and culture in Utah Territory.<\/p>\n
We crashed early.<\/p>\n
