I was out on the harley last night with the tyke and noticed that the signal lights were out in Montville. We stopped at the local diner to find no power, and that it had just gone out a few minutes prior to our arrival. We took off.

I was of the opinion that someone had crashed into a utility pole, which is the most common cause for a blackout. Some of the restaurant workers were almost praying for a majro outage. seems they were right and I was wrong.

it was fun to make every light from New London to Norwich, but Norwich was fine, and we found a joint there to eat. Got home, phoned the family to verify they were OK, and settled down to some TV.

other that that, there was no impact on me. OF course the estate has it's own generator with a 30 day supply of fuel, so it wouldn't upset me too much either way... We DID get a spike though. not enough to setoff the power out lights onthe clocks, but enough to screw up the scanner.

my thoughts remain with the kitty, hoping he didn't get his fur up in an uproar inthe heat in NYC.
