Whee!

The eldritch powers of electricity have been returned to me -- as of 15 minutes ago. I saw some strange people sneaking around the backyard. Turned out to be Georgia Power. They claimed they rang the bell and didn't get a response. It occurs to me that ringing a bell that runs on electricity -- and, frankly, didn't work well anyway -- was not the best option.

I have air conditioning. I have fans on in the rooms that have ceiling fans. I am collecting dirty clothes -- and after all the sweat, they are dirty clothes -- to start laundry.

There are still some areas of Savannah lacking power, but we were among the last areas in Savannah proper to have power restored, so it may be completed by tomorrow. At which point, the people who did all this can go help other parts of the state -- like Jeff Davis county which is still 90% out -- to reclaim the benefits of the modern world.

Keep your fingers crossed that the other house sells soon. I can't afford solar panels until it does.
