The quiet woke me up..
Jan. 8th, 2009 06:47 amThe electricity here went out at 1:05 am and it woke me up. It took me a while to figure out what was going on. I got up and closed the two laptops to conserve battery power. The stadium parking lights were on as were some lights in the buildings I could see. Hmmmm
I finally got back to sleep and woke up again when everything came back on. I think it was about 30 minutes later. I booted up the desktop because it chimes on the quarter hour and figured that was easier than setting clocks.
We rarely lose electricity here and with so many around here being flooded out, it seems like a very minor inconvenience. Still disconcerting. I wonder how many people in the building did not wake up and had their alarms fail this morning...
