Powerless again

Posted on December 31, 2005 By Tom No Comments on Powerless again

This wasn’t supposed to happen.  We get in from camping, have a nice meal out and a good night’s sleep, and wake up to find the house without power.  Been there, done that.  At least it’s not 27 degrees outside, but there are other problems.  Amy’s pump requires electricity, and therefore we have no water.

I figured that any area with a substantial retired population had to have a Denny’s, so we set out for Vero Beach and found just such a place.  Our waitress brought us plenty of coffee along with ‘way too much information about her personal life.  Oh joy.

Fortunately, the power had come back on by the time we returned from breakfast, and we were able to enjoy a lazy vacation day.
