Blackout!

So I'm in the middle of baking pork chops when the power goes out. At first we thought it was #2 using the vacuum and the coffee maker being on at the same time. Nope. The more than 2,500 homes in Derby were out and 38 homes in Ansonia. For hours. Luckily I have a gas stove and Anthony had a coleman so we could eat with a light.

When the power came back on we found out it was a tiny little bird had fried itself on a power line and blew out half the city!

Then I try to get on here and it's down for maintenance. At least everything is working now!

Got my exchange gift already -- a beautiful pair of leg warmers! I haven't even started knitting mine yet. Good thing there's still plenty of time!
