We lost power about 11 p.m. last night, and the tree in our front yard came down. Fortunately, it did not hit the house or the power lines, but still, huge tree down means huge clean up cost. I was up watching the basement for flooding much of the night. My sister drove up from Richmond and took K home with her so that I could work on clean up and get some sleep. More storms expected tonight. Both water processing plants are without power, so we also have water restrictions (it's safe to drink, but they cannot replenish supply).
Signing off now to save battery power!
I'm glad folks here are pretty okay.
I was watching a procedural this season which featured a large municipal power loss, and the way they were instructed to save cellphone batteries totally ignored the fact that they were driving everywhere, and car chargers...cops all have car chargers for their phones don't they? That's my go to backup.
And my last car and this one will charge devices even when the car isn't running. Unfortunately the Beemer doesn't have a charger in the boot, so I can't safely leave anything charging in there. But if I'm in the car...totes perfectamundo.
Holy crap, y'all! I was sad that my shoes didn't fully dry by the end of the workday yesterday....
Just looked at a few apartments, and I think I'm just going to take one of them. It's nice enough, good enough price, good enough location. I saw a cheaper one that was OK, but semi-crappy and not an ideal location -- basically the (more expensive) equivalent of my place in Queens that I grew to hate, so I don't think the savings is actually worth it. So I guess that's done?

Wait, some cars
do
have chargers in the trunk?
That's good, right? When will you move?
I'll move 8/1. Now I just have to figure out how to get the application package submitted, since the broker is all booked until I have to go to a wedding. I sort of feel like I should look more, but I know I'm fussy AND there's not much available for August, so fuck it.
Wait, some cars do have chargers in the trunk?
Yeah--that's the distinction I was making. The BMW doesn't, but my previous car, the Jetta, did.
Yay for decisions, Jesse?
Storm does sound scary, wow.
Yay for decisions, Jesse?
I am definitely already second-guessing myself! But now I'm going to write a check for money I may or may not have...
