We are still running on batteries and candles at HCHQ, although several of my friends and coworkers now have power. Still, it could be much worse: a few people are reporting problems with sewers and septic tanks backing up, putting raw sewage right into homes. With the temperatures rising, that’s going to be lovely.
I just heard an ice cream truck drive by. That amuses me quite a bit. Someone’s thinking, that’s for sure.
I’m a little bummed out that Hallowe’en is effectively cancelled. While some parties are still going to happen, I can’t say I’m comfortable with going out at night while my alarm is down, particularly since I’ve been burglarized twice in late October. I’ll be spending the night in my house, thanks for asking.
I’ll be going in to the office tomorrow, to do some work for the emergency operations team. Normally I would be looking forward to the quiet, but I’m getting plenty of that these days.
