Maybe it was the ghosts?

The power went out in half the house last night...we had power in our room, but not in Kelsey's room, in the living room and in the bathroom. GHOSTS???

When we got up this morning, there was no power and the furnace had been off for something like over 16 hours...it was a little chilly...

The outage meant the computer that had held on to its internet connection so well despite every other part of it failing (both the floppy and CD drives have been added to the list of dead parts) is now effectively dead. Well, that's not quite true, it operates in Safe Mode, but that's not so useful. So....as I mentioned elsewhere, I'm relying on a temporary solution. Okay, Shannon, just buy a new computer already!

We're glad to have the power back and to have the heat back on. It seems our neighbours had partial power too and the people across the alley had none...we think they had to shut the grid down to fix the problem...oh storm 14. Hopefully it's the last of the storms!
