Wednesday (07/28) was noteable for being the first Wednesday in 2 weeks for which we did not have a fairly long (6 hrs or so) power outage. So, I thought our streak of power issues had ended.

But, it was just a false sense of security, and we experienced another outage last night (even though there were no storms or other obvious causes).

The "good news" is that it wasn't just us - our neighbors were affected too. Now I know that sounds a bit odd. But, the last two outages affected only our house (which is the last house on the line), and its a long way between us and the neighbors. That leaves a lot of above ground and underground utility lines to have problems between us and the neighbors. (And the underground line is very old.) Having had 2 recent problems, I was beginning to worry that we needed some major maintenance done. So, I was a bit relieved to find out the problem wasn't just with our lines this time!

Hopefully, we're done with power outages for a while.

About Me

Although I've been thinking and writing as "freshman mom", I guess that technically, I'm now the mom of a sophmore as my daugher has just completed her freshman year at the University of Florida (studying mechanical/biomedical engineering).
