Up again, meh. Power went out for about 20 minutes as far as I can tell. Seems completely random as we were in between storms. Glad it came back on as I haven't game-planned setting up the genny at our new house yet. Gonna do that tomorrow after work (or earlier, if the power goes out again!).

I think we got overly used to having more stable power here than in Thorndale, where it seemed you could look at a transformer crossly and it would blow, taking out power to the whole town for hours. Since we moved to Reading 9 months ago, we've had nary a flicker; except it went out for a few minutes this past Monday, and now tonight. So hmm... Perhaps it's not as stable here as I once thought. Bummer.

I stood out on the back deck for a few minutes, taking in the complete silence and watching the lightning bugs do their thing. It's quite soupy out. Zero rain since midnight, it seems.

Every time I reenter my date and time on the old phone, it guarantees an outage.  So maybe I'll leave it alone.  

DPs in high 70's  - good for the trees, I guess.  Gasp.

Trenton area getting hammered with heavy rain/storms. Flood Warning in effect for that area.

Sliding by right to my South.  Lots of rumbles.  No rain here so far.

Off topic the blackbirds have been going crazy today.  Maybe they've run out of tasty cicadas?
