DR Jrand62, I hope the cleanup crews don't take too long getting to your neighborhood!  Believe you me, I know what the waiting is like when dealing with a mess like thaf!

;D

DR Chas I hope you don't lose more heat at home.  To me being cold is the worse part about losing power.

No, the worst part is flipping on the light switch in the hall to see what the current termperature is, and still not being able to read it.

That's what flashlights are for ;)

I can't count how many times I flipped the non-working light switch the other morning when we lost our power.

I always do it at least one time with the bathroom light, even though I know better.

I hope TCB doesn't read that post.  He would make something dirty out of that comment.

;D

Jnae our generator is just a little gasoline run one with heavy duty power cord running throughthe window to plug inthe fridge  one lamp and the TV

If we did that we would let in a lot of cold air.  Still, it is something to consider.

But you do have water.  Treasure that even if it is too cold to shower in it.

Even more than a day without power would be horrible, to me! I feel for you DR Vixmom, and all those without power.

One of the lessons I learned was to shower & wash my hair before a big storm was expected.   The problem with most power outages you don't receive advanced notice.

It is a shame DR Ben's workplace doesn't have power instead of DR Vixmom's.

Bryan has been without power the last few days.  He stocked up on candles and his house smells of Autumn and pumpkin pie.  He said it isn't too bad except it's getting very cold inside the apartment.  He is listening to records and catching up on reading while enjoying the candlelight.

If Bryan says it is getting cold it must be very cold to the average person.

Today I started thinking about a generator.  More people around here are getting them.  Storms with this kind of destructive power should be coming through, what, every 10, 20, or 30 years?  Not three times within twelve months.  All this needs to do is happen again in winter conditions.  And let's not even "go there".  I'm going to call my electrician and have him explain the different levels of having a generator, give me ballpark costs on those that can run the furnace, fridge, and even one room of lights and TV, and make a decision.

Oh, DR Vixmom, I'm so sorry to hear that you and your parents are without power - and for so long!  Let's hope they overestimated the time it will take...

What a fun time we had - first rehearsing at Casa Graae with fun folks like Jason, Susanne Blakeslee, Liz Larsen, John Randall and Diane someone, and Heather Lee.  Then we went over to the retirement home and did the little show.  The audience there is always fun - they're very appreciative of Jason and they just had a grand time.  Our duet went wonderfully, and everyone did a great job.  It was just forty minutes, then we went to Mo's for some food.  Now I'm home awaiting the arrival of the trick or treaters.

The weather was quite nice. As good as can be expected for this time of year. It was low 50s and it didn't rain. I was wearing a sweater and then a longer sweater. And with gloves i was fine.
