Typing via cell ......sucks.......

Yeah, We lost our power at 11:44 last night- got it turned back on this morning- thankfully we are on a line that feeds the stoplights at a major intersection- we get priority for safety issues-

[Memory Maker]

......... still without power ........... shoot

...... if ya want to take over this country ...... just knock out the power and then knock out the generators ...... then send out a few EMP's to knock out the computer chips in everything and we're defeated ........ can't even make coffee in most machines without a chip .......... forget the bombs ...... kill the power ............

........ And those dang crickets that kept me up all night .......... agggggghhhhhh

Sunday morning I had already setup my portable gas camp stove and a Coleman double globe gas lantern in the kitchen with a pot of coffeee perking when the lights came back on, so while I was glad we got power, in a way, it was a disappointment that it didn't wait another hour so I could feel better about unpacing all my camping gear-

Our power has been out since 1030pm Saturday. I just saw a couple of BGE trucks in the area about an hour ago. Please please please. I miss my cpu and television. Hot water would be nice also, cold showers suck.

We lost power around 10pm Saturday. It's still off but the freezer (and tv and internet) is running thanks to a co-worker and his generator. Houses up and down our road have power. All BGE can say is Friday...

We keep hearing Friday also. This blows. I went and borrowed my buddys generator last night so we could use fridge tv and coffee pot. Gonna go to work early just so I can take a hot shower. Hope everyone is getting by OK.

I hope everyone gets up and running before the next one hits us-

Safeway carries dry Ice at $1.49 a pound but you have to get it from customer service- I had a big block just in case- It was in my chest freezer Friday night until Sunday- took it out Sunday after the power came back on-
