We were eating dinner at Johnson's last night when the power went out. The funny thing is, years ago when it was the New Durham Railway Station, the power went out when were were dining there. I have never been in a restaurant when the power went out except for these two times ...in the same place! What were the odds??
Anyway, we started home to Alton in pitch black, and were very pleased to see that on the west side of Rt 28 the lights were on....but that only lasted about 20 minutes or so..then black out. The outdoor thermometer read 13 BELOW!
Brrr...fortunately we had cranked up the heat before leaving for dinner.
What did the pioneers do with no lights ??? I bet they had lots of kids.
Thank goodness for cell phone alarm clocks!
