Trailer trash
We are still without lucky-shucky. It’s actually kind of fun. At least it became fun after the GG reminded me that we could charge an iPhone via the USB port in the Lyme Lounge. Of course, that was *after* I took a shower in total pitch blackness to save my iPhone battery. What an experience! Then, when I put a new garbage bag in the Blue and Only Bathroom garbage receptacle (in pitch blackness), I was wondering why I kept seeing flickers of light. Those would be sparks, KW. Static lucky-shucky. Who knew. Alas, not something I could harness to drive all of The Landfill’s lucky-shuckial needs oak. Oak?
Anyway, we can also use the gas stove and refrigerator in the Lyme Lounge for cooking and keeping food cold. So we are doing fine. We have running hot water and we don’t need the furnace. Winter would be a different story so I suspect that a generator is in our future.
I am about at the end of iPhone typing for the day. Please try to ignore any typos. Cheers! -KW
Update! Our power is now back on. Sleeping in the Lyme Lounge tonight *anyway*. Because it’s so much fun! Love y’all!

I didn’t see any typos and WOW, this has been a long power outage. Glad you can function well without power, but it does make us appreciate it, doesn’t it?

I chatted with Dad/Harry this AM and he said they lost power about 6 times yesterday, but only for a few seconds each time.

So glad you are re-powered! That was a long outage, and for much of the city, too, I think.
