Blown over

The storm blew itself out a few hours ago and now the sky is patchy clouds and sunshine. Some areas are still without power -- I had to go into my favorite hardware store (Hardware Sales in Bellingham -- it seriously rocks!) earlier today and they were operating on a small backup generator. They had enough power to run the cash registers and some lights over the registers. For everything else, they had a pool of sales people with flashlights who would go back into the shelves with you and help you get what you needed (plumbers putty and a basin wrench). We get a couple of these storms each year around this time so nothing big -- Jen brought the generator out of storage at the store and we fired it up and showed people how to run it (in case power goes out while we are not there). That was the excitement for this week... Posted by DaveH at November 12, 2007 4:02 PM
