This weekend was damn hot. Living on the sun hot. Why did I go outside hot. Therefore it follows that the power would go out. 6:35pm yesterday, boom. No storms, no accidents, in fact we have underground utilities. It came back on for like 2 seconds and then out for the count. It was like being trapped in an elevator. Can't breathe too much, we'll run out of cold air. And instantly, you want a cold drink and realize that you really shouldn't open the refrigerator. What was left to do? Go get ice cream. The only problem was that the ice cream stand was also having electrical issues. We were one of the few people who got a full order in before the power went out for good there too. Mmm...hot fudge. So we went home, went downstairs and hung out. I found out that I can read bar review materials with a small Maglite balanced on my head as long as I don't get too radical in flipping pages. I got a surprising amount of reading done all things considered. And when the power came back on at 5am? Oh happy day. But man am I sleepy now.
