The rolling blackout.


This morning when it was freezing outside and the power went out, I got really nervous and called Dan to find me the phone number for Centerpoint.



But before I could hang up the phone, the power came back on.  Later I added a new phrase to my vocabulary:  "rolling blackout."



As most local readers probably know, a rolling blackout is when the power company knows they don't have enough power for everybody, so they take turns shutting off people's power for 10-45 minutes at a time.  This happened to us three times today.

Gonna be another cold one tonight!  Maybe Joe's school will get cancelled tomorrow ...?  These two would love that.



Here's another picture Gabe drew of a Ben 10 character named Ampfibian.  

Goodnight!
