Been an interesting week or so with storms. Got floods in Iowa, earthquakes in Japan and China and thunderstorms like mad around my area.

Right now as I type getting yet another one, this will be the fourth or fifth storm so far this week alone. Supposed to get like two more tomorrow and wednesday. Two of the past ones caused a few hours altogether of power outages as well. The rain on saturday was insane, driveway became a river basically and you couldn’t see out a hundred feet before the mist and rain blocked your vision.. at only 5 pm in the afternoon.

Well here’s to hoping my power doesn’t go out for once. I really hate having to shut everything down, then back up. Life is crap without electricity anymore, not much you can do in the modern world.

Guess I’ll sit back and enjoy this storm.

Thank God for battery backups is all I can say, the power just went out here. These babies kept the computers and networking stuff on around here so I had enough time to safely shut down everything. Technology is great, isn’t it?

It is always strange when the power goes out though. What makes it even stranger is as I type this the power is out. I have a laptop going on its battery, and the modem + router still on a battery backup. Back when I was a kid, power outages meant sit around and do nothing time because it usually also meant it was nasty outside weather wise.

Anyway, all my batteries are about dead now. Guess I’ll have to sit around with nothing to do while I wait for the power to come back. Gotta also try not to switch switches on out of habit. lol
