Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
|
It’s the big brace tonight as we find out what’s going to happen. Power on? Power off? The St Mary’s wellness fair in Moraga (where I thought I’d be) already called to say "sorry, no power for you tomorrow." Fire department said we’ve got a 99% chance for lights out up in Portola Valley.
48 hours we could be out of power? Crazy. I should be charging everything instead of using battery power writing this. What are you doing? You should too!
Seriously, I hadn’t really thought about it until right now. Lucky householders got generators, but not moi.

Think camping – in your house
