our power’s been out more than seventeen hours. i’d characterize the weather that did it as “wet and a lil blustery.” this is the county that houses the headquarters of fucking amazon, how do we not have the resources to get our power on? i hope puget sound energy is ready to replace the contents of thousands of refrigerators like ours.
much of the square footage of my neighborhood is trailer parks. i wonder if classism is a factor. also wacky, seems like every time we’ve had an outage, we could hear something exploding a few blocks away right as it happened. a lil blustery.

i used 9% of my cellphone’s precious battery to write this. signing off!

I very much doubt it – start eating!
In Florida, we’ve learned the drill for prolonged power outages (my personal record is 29 days). Trash collection turns its full attention to getting rid of rotting meat, for very sound public health reasons – that half-a-calf stored in a freezer becomes a major menace after a hurricane takes the lines down.
At least cleaning out the ice cream stash is a great opportunity for socializing!
ice cream melted by time we thought of that
21 hours, still out, phone very slowly recovering with external battery, watched a neighbor pull out of their carport in a prius, probably off to charge up in a grocery store parking lot.
wooooo congrats pse, that’s 24 hours!
love having my power out and fridge full of rot on a mild sunny day
oh fucking christ i drained out the battery listening to music. thing’s built like a brick i thought there’d be more juice! where the fuck are the power people? ya fucking forget about us? imma get all my trailer park emeffs and start a riot.
You’re unlucky; most of it seems back: https://www.pse.com/outage/outage-map
i know, the assholes heh. i’m at a Mexican restaurant recharging my phone and the external battery now, justifying my presence with a pork burrito. left my husband joe cubist at la casa amid candles and darkness, as a goth should be.
How was the burrito?
I’d like a burrito but it be late and I’ll probably just have to settle for a microwaved hotdog.
burrito passable but i don’t love the way these guys do. el rinconsito across the street is better, but i have a lot more elbow room here… burrito finished but only 53% on phone. should i get una nieve frita?
I’m not reading that lol. un nieve frita inbound.
Damn.
I don’t think I could handle deep fried ice cream.
But I’d probably give it a try.
it was kinda huge for one person, i woulda split it with youse.
Nice manicure. Not lacquered?
i just work on a keyboard all day. i should lacquer em to prevent splitting – i get that occasionally.
btw, home now, power very likely to not be on til after dawn at earliest, possibly much later.
Sorry to hear this, power outages suck. Hope it comes back soon.
thx bud. gonna put the phone to sleep to save power now. gnite everybody! or day as u please.
unexpected midnight oil comin in clutch, was about 36 hrs total
