Here we go again.
Well, this sucks.
Before you go any further, gentle reader, note the time stamp. Done? OK, swell.
As we, er, speak, I am typing merrily in the dark of my house, having been without electricity since on or about 7:20pm. Look at the time stamp again and do some math. Besides dark it has also been, um, sultry inside the house. We took the opportunity to head up to my BiL's house to deliver their allotted portion of Kobe beef. Before leaving we called the Florida Power & Light outage hotline. The automated response system said our power ought be back by 9:45pm. As we were departing my BiL's, the time had been shoved back to 11pm. By the time we got home around midnight, the automated thingy said and I quote: "We're sorry, but we do not have enough information to establish a time for the restoration of power to your area." As of 3:20am, the thing had not changed. I am not terribly optimistic.
Oh, did I mention that NTS had to geta thingy on his nose operated? It was a teeny something that looked like a zit, but was a viral something that needed to be excised. No big, only that NTS is not one of those boys eager to leave a stitch in peace for the required week. Last time NTS had to be operated (a very minor brain cyst) we came home to another storm-inspired outage AND a total plumbing blockage. TFBIM, relentless and indomitable survivalist she is, sobbed a lot.
The moral of the story is that NTS can'tbe oprated again, at least not until he is out from under our roof...which, by the way, is now going to need replacing.
