Volume 17 - Day 50/315, 2025 - Wednesday

Everything I say may not be correct. I read that somewhere recently. I mention it again now, because this journal entry should have been published yesterday, but I am submitting it today. At 7:58 last night, the power went out. I was actually on a zoom call, and at first I thought it was just the internet provider. I have solar and battery back-up, so I still had power. A few minutes later, I got a text from Pedernales Electric Coop that there was a 'service interruption' at the Curious House. I started surveying the other houses, and yep, the power was off. I went around turning things off that were not important, and felt pretty smug. I have one television that is not on cable, so I watched the news, had ice cream, and did all the regular stuff. I crawled into bed about 10:30, and the power was restored about 1AM. It could have been worse, and for me, it was not bad at all. We did not do a morning walk yesterday, but we did walk at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. That is the same plan for today, a nice afternoon walk. I think we still have a few more days with low temperatures below freezing, but so far, it is just cold, not crazy. 15 degrees right now, wind chill is at 1 degree. Don't cry for me Argentina!
