yesterday we took all our essentials and moved to one of Tandra's relatives houses that happened to be both empty and with power. I now have a gas generator on my back porch which is allowing the furnace to run, I'm keeping the house around 60 so the pipes don't freeze. I've now plugged the laptop and DSL modem into the generator as well, but I won't be here long. It's still very cold in here and my mouse hand is getting slow.
I have lots of digital pictures, but no time to post them. Probably on Monday, assuming there is power at work by then. There isn't now.
So, at 7:30 tonight it will have been 72 hours with no power to my house. It sucks and it's inconvenient. I've left the Miata in the garage and we've just been driving the Mystique.
And yes, in spite of all this, I've been getting plenty sideways in the Mystique. :-)
Read all your comments, but again, no time to answer yet. Thanks for your concern!
Maybe I'll get all my photo posts ready from the other house and come back here to post them tonight or tomorrow.
