Ka-Boom!

Although my neighborhood was mostly unaffected by Wednesday's sudden and violent thunderstorm¹, we did get clipped by the one yesterday, losing power for about eight hours.

I hadn't realized how many of my daily activities involve the computer. I was kind of at loose ends for most of the blackout period. (I finished reading two novels and started in on a third, by the end having to rely on a flashlight.) The power came back on just in time for me to watch "Stargate SG-1"; too bad it was such a dull episode...

1. Well, apart from getting rained on, wind-blown, and thundered at, of course.

Oh, *good.* I was watching the Weather Channel last night and wondering how you and the fellows were doing. I'm glad you all came through it all right.

I was worried for a while; the people who lost power Wednesday aren't expected to all be back on line until Monday - so I was figuring Wednesday for me. Fortunately, the power people got things working faster. (The second storm wasn't as intense as the first.)

Yay for AC, and yay for computers. And YAY for the power people!

You realize, of course, that the title of your post put the song "Sh-Boom, Sh-Boom" into my head? Well, better by far that than the theme for the KaBoom cereal commercial [which I mercifully no longer recall].
