Electricity is our friend

Along with one million of our PNW neighbors, on Friday we lost power in the big storm. The family and juvenile courthouse switched to a back-up generator, but with only enough power for a few lights, and no computers or recording devices, they took one detention hearing and cancelled the rest of the docket. Back at the office, power was off then on, then off and on, then back off for good. We served the public no more that day.

At home we had an impromptu family home evening, bundling up and reading stories by flashlight, like camping in our own house. Today 240,000 of us have electricity again thanks to the hard-working folks at our local utility. Welcome back, Reddy Kilowatt, we missed you.
