Spoke Too Soon

When the power came on, we had some brownouts and then the power went in and out for about fifteen or twenty minutes. Then there was a huge boom and the sky lit up, and then nothing. Fortunately that boom came from a different transformer, not our beautiful brand new one, but the effect is the same - no lights, and this time it's worse because the solution we'd put all our hopes in didn't work. I called the power company and they said they'd come right away, but we all know that doesn't mean they'll come right away.

Sigh.

You said you called - does that mean the phone is working again? Small consolation, I'm sure!

Tricia, no, it was my cellphone that I used. Having a working landline is a rarity. Ours was one of the few we knew of.
