POWER FAILURE

You know the part that says WHEN ONE LIGHT BURNS OUT THE OTHERS STAY LIT on Christmas Tree light strings? Must not have worked. Today at 2:15 we had about a half hour power failure.

I watched folks try to get into the Preserve through their electric gate. Nope. No can do.

I figured it was just Spanish Oaks or even just our street, where maybe the builders had cut service to hook up one of the new builds.

But Terri called and it was out at her work too. So was the flashing light on 71 and Spanish Oaks Club Boulevard and I don't even want to think about 71 at 2244.

It turns out the power failure was pretty widespread. They say a squirrel ascended into heaven.
