Out of the Dark Ages


For the last 2 days we have been with out a phone. We have resorted to using our cell phones for everything. Also this early morning around 3:45 am some yaahoos slammed their car into a utility pole at Kings Hill Road near us knocking out power to 2 small towns. Ours (Poe Dunk) and the one to the East.... We will call it BFEville. The power was supposed to be restored around 8 am but didn't get back on until till about noon. Someone said it was a couple of girls that stole a car for a joy ride. You know women drivers.../cringe for the slap from Brando.


It was hell without power. I mean like we couldn't sleep because the fans wasn't running, the alarm clock didn't give me that warm glow to check the time every 10 minutes or so, we couldn't get online to check email and blogs, Brando couldn't harvest her farm on Face book, the chickens couldn't lay and the toilet wouldn't flush. Damn those electric toilets!... and whats with those chickens??? Oh well we got home with a dial tone in the phone and some spark in the wires and we are back in the 21st century.


Now if I can figure out how to get my stupid alarm clock to quit blinking 12:00 I will be set.


Have a Happy New Year!!!!

Darned utilities. Can't live with them, can't live without them. ;)
