We lost power. It’s fixed, but I gird
\nFor another bad outage. My word!
\nIt’s a jerry-rigged mend!
\nWill it break, or just bend
\nIf descended upon by a bird?<\/p>\n
Author’s Note: We lost power last night, shortly after midnight, and were the first to call Con Ed. (Apparently our neighbors go to sleep early.) <\/p>\n
Con Ed came quickly to assess the situation and then sent back a larger crew. And 9 or 10 hours later we had a temporary repair — a couple of wires tied to trees, stretched precariously from one house to another across the street. <\/p>\n
The temp fix doesn’t look like it could withstand even a minor winter storm, and the real repair isn’t scheduled until February 6th. Yes that’s 2.5 weeks from now. So all fingers and toes are duly crossed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
