Windstorm

At 3 am Saturday morning, the windstorm which had been blowing in off the Pacific took out our electricity as well as that of another 100,000 homes in Western Washington. We regained our electricity at 6 am Sunday morning. Since then we have received continual updates on the state of our poweredness by the Muralist. "Hey we have power again!" Yes, yes we do.

On a related note, you have not witnessed schadenfreude until you have played cutthroat High-Ho Cherry-o with a bunch of pre-schoolers. The glee at which they annouce you have spun the "spilled bucket" option is distressing to the faint of heart.
