Wow, transformer blew about a quarter mile from my RV park. Sounded like I set off one of my M80s. They everything in the park went kerplunk. Funny Internet seems to still be working as the router at the office would have to be plugged in, but they have no lights, air, etc.Â
So, I'm taking the opportunity to run the generator--which I do now and then--to see if things are all responding. Used to have "blackouts" in mid CA when I lived there. It was real hot there, and the blackouts always occur during time of high power use. People would get in their cars and run the AC to get a break as sometimes they lasted for days. It's a warm day for here--Northwest coast--as opposed to inland mid San Joaquin valley, so no big if I have to go a few days, worst case. If worst comes to worst, I'll have to read.Â
Safeway is only a stone's throw away. I'm sure there are some people with ice cream in their carts hoping the power comes back. Â
Hope the rest of you are having an uneventful day, I mean, I hope you have power.
best, Spankster
