It's raining trees!

So the power is still out. I called; they were too busy to answer the
phone. I did listen to the recorded message guy. He even wished me a
merry Christmas. What spirit! He listed off map locations like he was
playing battleship, and yeah, he sunk mine. My neighborhood is
adrift, powerless, in the sea of a Christmas blackout.

They're not sure when it's coming back up. I think they're hoping
Santa will bring it. According to the chipper voice on the phone, the
wind's blowing trees down everywhere. Everywhere but his house; he's
still got power.

So, that's the Christmas story thus far. I'll update you as the day
creates news. Stay tuned; There's a storm a-brewin'!
