Why do people refer to this area as South Seattle? This is the Central District, ding dongs.

Actually, the outage extended to North Beacon Hill, as far south as McClellan in areas. My house lost power, and it *never* loses power. I was distraught.

@1 Gah, I fixed that one. This is what happens when you're not originally from the city!

@2 Oh no! Is your power back on?

Catalina, if your bad self becomes distraught over power loss, then I start to worry that the end is nigh.

Fear not, Emma and Ana. I was actually at work when it happened, and it was was back on in about thirty minutes. The only ones who had to cope at Chez Vel-DuRay were the livestock,and they don't care. They were probably relieved, for it gave them a reprieve from AM talk radio (which we leave on for them when we're not home, otherwise, they bark at any noise).

Now that downtown outage a few weeks back? That was sort of creepy, as the downtown area is designed to never lose power. When I looked out the window and saw that it wasn't just our building, I was nonplussed.

So glad you don't have to toss out that potato salad.
