Hope the power is back soon!


I would think that their computers would show who had lost power. I have always thought that calling the power company was because of lack of patience on the part of people...... After ascertaining that it wasn't just our house of course.


Another way we all differ in how we react to situations.


Since it isn't terribly cold and a little less hot, the power being off wouldn't be an emergency for most, but an annoying inconvenience that thankfully doesn't happen often here because of buried lines.
