15 March 2010: Power Blackout

There was a power blackout in our neighborhood tonight. We decided not to go to the gym because the garage door was open. So, we're going tomorrow.
Susan made Super Spaghetti while I held the flashlight. Of course, the power came back on right after we finished eating.
Then, we took a walk around the neighborhood. Two Tucson Electric Power trucks stopped near us on the other side of the road and we talked with the guys. They told us that a rat, who was foreclosed on and evicted from his rat hole, had eaten through the wires in the box up the street and got electrocuted. We walked by another power box that was beeping.
The stars were really bright tonight. It was windy and clear. The city lights, in the distance, were really nice too.
Tomorrow, I am going to the hardware store to get some more batteries and a flashlight light bulb.
