Present Day
The regular electricity has been back on since 1 am, a few hours after the Generator finally started to work. fiiigures. But Hallelujah. Everyone is happier and already the experience of manually flushing toilets is starting to fade from memory. All hail electric companies and their dedicated workers. Actually I take it back, don't hail please, that is the last thing we need. We may get to town today finally, if The Vehicle can haul itself up the still icy road and we must pray it does because all the forecasters say is it may get worse now, and I'm running desperately low on Chap Stick. Help.
