Power Outage

Finally had some time to spend surfing the web this afternoon only to have it cut short by a power outage. While this is nothing new in the area my mother lives, it was surprising to find out that it was countywide. Power was out from Laughlin Air Force Base (LAFB) to Comstock, Texas.

We received a satellite call from the City of Del Rio, twenty minutes after power had been restored advising the population that parts of Lake Amistad area were still without electricity. They urged us not to call 911 unless it was a true emergency.

I chose the wrong day to try to acclimate my system to drinking coffee again. For those new to my blog...coffee is not my friend...it makes me nervous and jittery. You might ask yourself..." then why do you drink it? "  I drink it because if I don't, I tend to want to fall asleep when I drive long distances.

Since my mother's fall and subsequent back problems, we have not had to drive to San Antonio, however, we have an upcoming trip to that city.  I currently have a headache and I feel like vomiting.  Tried to take a nap during the outage but was unable to do so. It would have been an excellent opportunity to get some yard work done but decided to pass...though I know full well it will come back to bite me :-(

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
