Hey, who turned out the lights?

Okay, I’ve had about enough excitement and emergencies for one lifetime. Enough! Oh so clever me, whose laptop was still working (and our network was on backup power, so I had a net connection). Not clever enough to have kept my little wireless PocketPC charged, however, so if the network had gone down, I’d have had no connection. Power was out for about four hours here. I was just about to leave early, get my bike and ride out to the pool when the lights went out, quite literally. Took a while before we had any kind of handle on what was going on. Anxious, 9-11-y moments, then running through our emergency protocols. I’ve done enough of this. It must be someone else’s turn.
