Just another day in the neighborhood...

I need a pat on the back.

The Internet connection is bad enough when it's good and now the power here is having problems...it's the wiring plus the high winds. Yesterday a transformer blew and there was no power most of the day and into the night in the neighborhood. When the power came back on, it messed with some switch, which lessens the power to the refrigerator. It happened before. The owner needs new wiring as it wasn't done right in the first place, is the general consensus. I am without refrigeration. Day 2 and counting.

To top it all off, the winds here are incredible. That's what caused the original outage. It comes in waves and you can literally lean into the wind. I guess the gusts are about 30-40 mph.

You be the judge:

I hope today's issue was met with your approval as it was done under duress!!! lol
