Powers Out!

We were sitting in a restaurant at about 3 and the power went out. It was out at our house also.

The good news is that the town is without power so they will fix it ASAP...which could be a couple of days, if it is a real bad.

Some of our friends called from a beach house outside of Panama City, 200 miles away and told us several poles were down and the repair could take a couple of days.

This is typical...the jungle drums send the local info a couple of hundred miles away before we get the news here.

Not to worry...we have a GENERATOR...whoo hoo! And it works! And the gas stations are still pumping fuel because they are on generators too.

In the Land of Unfulfilled Expectations, when every thing works, it is cause for celebration. I am breaking out the sugar cookies right now!

So all is well and we are watching a movie tonight.

We attended a party last night for 2 Canadian couples that are going back to Canada for the wet season...we have a lot of snow birds here.

It was a major party with about 70 people with dinner, a live rock band, and beer and wine flowing freely. I am still having trouble figuring out how all these people put on these huge parties.

I'm sure as hell not going to put one on. Too much work!

And you can't really talk to people and connect...too much noise and commotion.

I still admire them getting it done.
