almost 48 hours and counting

I'm without power - I'm posting from work. It's been unbelievable around here this year. There are trees torn up and *thrown* everywhere, seems like. Took me 15 minutes worth of detours to get to my mother's house today thanks to downed trees, roadwork and a freak incident involving a Budweiser beer truck. hahahahaa ... sigh. 
I saw a tree come down in the alley back of my house, complete with power lines and sparks galore. 127,000 people out of power here the first day - that's 65% of the users in the area. We're down to 30,000 left without power, and I'm in it, so's my mother and a good friend. Oh, the people across the street have power, jeez;)

Here's hoping it comes back soon - the refrigerator and freezer stuff are ruined, I have clothes in the wash (ugh) and ... I don't even. Not dealing with the heat very well. Neither is my old dog.

Yikes! That's a long time to go without power, especially in the heat. Crazy, crazy weather. The tornados that went through western Mass on June 1 were about 50 miles from where I live. I actually have acquaintances who lost their homes. Scary stuff.

Meanwhile, the high temp today was in the low 60's.

Hope everything gets back to normal for you soon!
