Report from the elderly
Power! After 50 hours. In the summer time, no less. Although with the 100+ temperature moderated, the lack of air conditioning has not been a problem. Apparently the local power company called in help from Ohio, which arrived today. Peter, the all-day television watcher, has suffered most. I was quite put out Monday morning with no coffee, but this morning Starbucks, otherwise closed, had a carafe on the sidewalk. Potomac was essentially out of business until this afternoon. There were 100+ traffic lights out in lower Montgomery County — and I just learned that you treat a out-of-service traffic light like a four-way stop. Peter and I ate out two nights — once at MacDonald’s down River Road (a four-way stop on River Road is tricky) and once in Cabin John Mall (Broadway Pizza is not wonderful). It’s good to have the power restored.
Sheesh! We were wondering around here. Glad they survived. Curious how the all-day television watcher managed without his money-honies.
