Power out: Thursday, 4:15pm Power on: Friday, 5:34pm Over 24 hours, no power. No rolling blackouts, nothing. ZERO zilch, zip, nada. And by golly is it hot. They say the current supply will be temporary, so I’m posting while I can…it may be a few days before I can respond to full posting form ☹ ---

I gotta fess up. There **was no** blackout. Unca **Cecil** , the Mods and I were outside your house, & we pulled the master switch on your fusebox for shits & giggles. Then, I hid outside your window, & did my “Announcer Voice” imitation until you thought there was a _real_ blackout. All you neighbors were in on it with us. ( **Cecil** can be _very_ persuasive!) \*\*\* I’M SO ASHAMED!!! BOO-HOO-HOO!\*\*\* ☹
