We sat in the dark last night for about an hour and a half. \u00a0We probably would have gone crazy if it weren’t for Nina starting to sing kumbaya to us and then all of us joining in. \u00a0The big surprise was when Marylou and Shirley both joined us in perfect harmony. \u00a0Those two old broads can sing!<\/p>\n
OK, now that you all have had your morning laugh, yes we did have a power outage last night. \u00a0It was short compared to some we’ve experienced out here, but it’s still a pain in the ass. \u00a0Once the power returns, we have to run and check all the electronics and make sure they came back clean. \u00a0We lost the lottery terminal only and since we don’t own that, who cares. \u00a0Lottery will have someone here before lunch to fix it and bring us up.<\/p>\n
I still have no idea why or where that power outage occurred and I suppose that my knowing isn’t necessary, but I’m just a nosey git and I want to know. \u00a0We’re actually pretty lucky when it comes to power. \u00a0Our power is reliable and clean and not that expensive. \u00a0I get the cost is subsidized somewhat as part of the rural electrification act, but I’m not sure of how much or even if it’s still subsidized. \u00a0I know it’s a co-op and we are part owners, but we never \u00a0see \u00a0any \u00a0checks \u00a0like \u00a0we do for the phone co-op. \u00a0The phone checks every December are nice little bumps for our business and we enjoy seeing checks for our 4 telephone lines.<\/p>\n
Everyone have a great week!<\/p>\n
