Back

Well, it was a good thing that I did so many posts on Friday Jan 4th, because right after then (about 3 hours later) the power went out. When I say "went out", I mean it went out on a major scale. A lot of my state was out of power, and although the electric company worked its ~500 employees hard, I didn't get my power returned until Wendnesday; 6 days later. One tree fell over breaking a power line right behind my house, and although this was reported twice to the company, they still attempted to make the line live again. This resulted in a small fire and a lot of smoke right behind my house. The Ground was fortunately too wet for the fire to spread much, but it smoldered the tree and probably shocked the ground around it (water doesn't exactly help that). Anyway, that was the only exitement of the week, even more so because the other days were completely and utterly boring. In this day and age, there is not really much you can do without electricity in your house.

Also Completely Unrelated: I recently rediscovered how awesome the users of the website Flickr are. I was looking at picture of Sweden, and every link I clicked completely blew me away. This one in particular, I stared at for at least 15 minutes.
