In the dark...but on Active Rain!

No power! I've lived in this house for 14 years and we've always had power. The neighbors and I like to joke that there is a secret government facility nearby that we are on their grid. Okay, we've lost power for like two hours overnight before (barely noticed) and have had the five minutes of power loss - but it always comes miraculously back up. This time that storm got us and took down a huge tree on Virginia Avenue and we have to wait in line. With less than 200 homes in the neighborhood we are not a priority area.

As I like to look at the positive:

• at least we have water. Some people in the neighborhood are still on well water...however, this dwindles every year.
• at least we don't have any damage. There are a lot of damaged homes and property.
• at least the dry ice place had dry ice. They even gave lessons for those rookies like me!
• at least we weren't blocked in. We like on a dead end street and we could get by the downed trees.
• at least it wasn't as hot as it had been. While it wasn't cool it wasn't hot.
• at least we are safe. This of course, is the most important.

The best attitude is always the best position. Have a great day!
