Power Outtage

OK, so I've been neglecting my blogging duties, and I have much to do (such as my beer review, and a post of last weekend's camping excursion) and will get on them soon, but had to write about a pretty big power outage in our neighborhood tonight. Nearly two hours ago there was a dimming, flicking, and then vanishing of all lights in the house. I stumbled around for a flashlight for a minute, then walked outside. The whole area was dark, so I walked around a bit and it seemed to effect a pretty large area. From what I could tell it covered dozens of blocks. I'm guessing there was a car accident somewhere in the area. If I find out more I will update this post. All I have to say is, hooray for electricity!
