Shocking!

Still no power at home. Not griping, just saying.

Could be until September 26th, says the local news mouth-organ.

It's crazy, though - in just the nearly four days without power, kudzu has overgrown my entire building and I actually heard a neighbor asking another neighbor something and they started their sentence with "Prithee, -"

Also, how long before it's like High-Rise by JG Ballard and a war starts between the those electrified and the still-dark? I don't want to come home and find someone roasting an airedale on a spit in my front yard, thanks.
