Today was interesting. The doorbell range in the morning. And the gate was closed. It turned out to be a guy from the electric company. They were replacing the power pole at the edge of our property and wanted permission to turn our power off. Of course I said yes.
The power was off for about three hours. We surfed and read while we waited for it to go back on. The real pain in the ass is that there's no water. That means no toilets. I may end up buying a generator to make sure that we have water if the power goes out here during a storm.
When we got back I went out with the dog to get the mail. There were a couple of neighborhood kids out there and we had a good conversation. They told me the names of all the dogs in the neighborhood and showed me their ATV trail. It's impressive. I also talked awhile to one of the electric workers. We bullshitted while another guy worked. Typical.
In the evening we went over to Costco and stocked up on frozen stuff. We also went ot Walgreens and bought some half price Valentine's day candy. Finally we bought a nano from a guy on Craig's list. It's got a whole lot of music on it from groups I've never heard of. I plan to listen to it in order to determine if there's anything that I ought to buy.
