Wednesday January 17, 2007 A minor storm left us without power from Friday to Tuesday night. One of the first outages and one of the last restored. I'm seriously starting to dislike the idea of a publicly traded utility monopoly. This was the third major multi-day outage the St. Louis area has had in the last six months. Unfortunately we can't just go out and choose a more competent power company. Third world living at a first world price.
Thanks to M&L for letting us crash at their place, Dad for stashing the turtles as the temp in the house approached 40F and Rob for driving by there a few times a day to see if we had power or not.
Hopefully our adventures in third world utility service are over for the time being.
Time to acquire a generator…

Opel, you were a good turtle
Topping off a long week of ridiculous events: Our very old female Diamondback Terrapin, Opel, died Saturday in her sleep. She was a very casual, laid back old lady and will be missed.

Insane old man Donald Rumsfeld is unemployed!!!

I'm not sure how this could be a better Wednesday at this point.

Looks like the Dems took the House and the Senate (Virgina and Montana slightly outstanding). Missouri voted for science for a change despite endless deceptive adds by fundamentalist whack jobs. My faith in American democracy is restored, ever so slightly.
It‘s unfortunate we had to go so far down the rabbit hole to get here, so I‘ll say only this:
come on guys, don't f*ck this up...
