The power has been out in much of my town since noon, and best guess is it will come back by 10 tonight. Mysteriously, not one of my Trumpy neighbors has a generator. We on the other hand do, so we’re kind of a shining beacon of enlightenment in this stretch of roadway. ---

I find interesting that solar-powered generators are being marketed to Magats who think the power system is about to collapse and the Pope takes over. ---

Hm. Solar-powered generators are OK, but solar power is not. Weird. (And FWIW, my wife says we’re not buying anything with ‘Patriot’ in the name.) ---

One of my neighbors has a Cybertruck. Can’t he just plug that into the house or something to get the lights on? ---

Yes, he could, if he knew how. But then he would not be able to drive away tomorrow in his swasticar. Imagine the pain. You, OTOH, have juice and you can tell us bout it in the internet. Good! ---

I’m guessing some level of jury nullification. ---

Or the jury thought vehicles parked illegally blocking the entrance to a garage had no defense from being towed. ---
