Still no power. Saturday night before the front it was uncomfortably warm and it was hard to get to sleep. Fortunately, the cold front did come through early Sunday with a noisy thunderstorm so the temperatures have been very nice since then. I\u2019m not sure how long it will last and of course we have no idea when we get electricity back. Today we cleared up most of the yard and tomorrow we\u2019ll hopefully finish it up and have a huge bonfire. <\/p>\n
We were running low on fuel so Tartan went off in search. He got into the huge line for the Texaco on the 45 feeder road and 3 hours later he filled up our gas cans. The irritating thing is if he had turned left he would have had a much shorter wait at the Chevron station just around the corner. Or if he had waited at the Kroger gas station, they apparently had a truck deliver petrol not too long after he passed it by. Oh well, we have a good supply now. I hope it\u2019ll last until power is restored.<\/p>\n
With preparations for the storm, we didn\u2019t get to the pet store to get crickets for Lucky and she was looking hungry, but Alex found an injured moth today and was able to feed her.<\/p>\n
No internet so no phone. Cell signal continues to be poor. Tartan did bring home the camper so we\u2019ll have air conditioning whenif we need it and he started up the water pump so we could take showers (yea!). It\u2019s rather like camping out, but with some of the comforts of home, and of course, we\u2019re actually at home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
