Seems optimistic.
They just bumped it to 6:15, so that'll be after dark.
I have two candles already.
In other news, I've opened the bottle of wine and Matilda are both having a glass.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

Wow that’s wild! Power was out overnight again in Palm Springs (or at least my part of it) but this time the fridge was more full so I’m hoping it was all fine.
Here’s hoping I win the powerball tonight! Or my sister does.

Our wings are not tired.
Yikes, I just looked at the outage map. That's a whole lotta red.
I hope you get some pain relief soon, dcp.

Major power outage in San Francisco. Whole city is down.
I'm currently with power in a green zone just hoping it doesn't spread anymore (but prepping for if it does). I only learned about the outage on Bluesky.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Now they say power is out until 8:15.
Fortunately Matilda has a power block and three portable chargers so we can keep the phones charged and use them for a hotspot.

Thank goodness for Matilda picking up so many portable chargers in Japan. Just loaned one to my downstairs neighbor so she could charge her phone and she and her son could go out of the car and back into the house.
