Well, the power went out on Friday at 5am and it finally came back on Sunday morning. I must have taken my food out of the fridge and put it back four times because the power would turn back on and off. I did finally lose it though and one hundred dollars in groceries. Oh well, still not as bad as some people that may not have it back 'til Christmas.

I think a lot of people decided to get their holiday shopping done during the blackout because the stores were crazy busy. I think that's smart. I mean, it's warm and there are plenty of places to eat. I found even getting gas for the car took forever. I guess people bought them out of gas what with generators. The pumps were really slow in South Portland.
