  Hello again. And welcome to My Not So Secret Life. I am your online personality, Rachel typing. I finally got my power restored at my house. I went 25 hours with no power! Of course, some people got tornadoes in their neighborhood, but this blog is about ME!
Seriously, no one was hurt that I know of thank goodness, but even the tornado neighborhoods had power and I didn't! One of my neighbors had a generator going. It was terrible. I was trying to enjoy the evening, the moon was high and shining the only available light. The fireflies were in the trees. The stars were clear and perfect.
All was peaceful, except for the constant BBBRrrrrrr of this damn generator! It was bad enough to be with out power. It was equally bad to know that someone else had power and you didn't. One side of the street was out the otherside wasn't for most of my street. I was terribly gleeful to see my neighbors across the street didn't have power. Yes, I know, it's terrible.
But misery loves company. I wouldn't have complained if they offer me an extension cord though. Today I am thankful to live in a country with the conveniences available to me. I am a most fortunate and thankful person today. I like my electricity. I like my solar powered hand cranked radio.
What? Well, I have a radio that needs no batteries or electricity to run. All the neighbors sat round to listen to the one station that we could pick up on that hunk of plastic. The farm report. Just kidding. But I do have such a radio and it comes in handly when you don't have a friggin' generator to crank up your computer.
Until next blog. Peace.
