Baby When The Lights Go Out...

SOOOO, I was originally planning to write this post on Tuesday...but Tuesday was challenging to say the least.  The power went out on me three separate times that day: (1) at 12:15 PM, while Gina and I were trying to get in a workout (literally, I got on the stair master and it slowly died until I dropped to the floor); (2) around 1:30 PM for an hour while at work (so much for "returning to productivity," but great for my ping pong skills) and then (3) about 8:20 PM for over 1.5 hours (meaning no blog post for you guys).  What's more fun is that apparently all of Juneau is on one circuit/grid (okay, so I don't know that much about electricity) so when the power goes, it goes everywhere.  Literally.  Even the street lights were out.  Since Beth and I have yet to stock up on candles and matches, this game became quite interesting.  Lucky, I'm a quick thinker so we got to recline by the light of headlamps.  Oh thank you, Lord REI.  Fortunately, the power eventually came back on (this was very fortunate since our heat is electric as well and we had some rain/snow mix that evening).  The next morning, the Juneau Empire had a picture of some electric box (a transformer, maybe?) on fire and reports of mudslides causing power outages.  I do not know how anything could be on fire here with all the rain, but it made for some awesome images.  Hope all is well with you!
