Bad Timing

PG&E is not making any friends in this area; not the worker bees who bust their butts on our account, but the higher-ups who decide to cut power for thirteen hours in nearly100-degree weather.  There isn't a good time to lose electricity, but this was classic bad timing.  No lights, no water, no fan, no flush...no fun.  Yesterday was just plain miserable.  I did remember the gift of bottled water so none of us dehydrated like prunes.

After the evacuation, it looks like bears have taken over South Lake Tahoe.  They roam the streets, break into homes, rummage through trash bins at their leisure, and create havoc in general.  They  obviously enjoy the use of hotel swimming pools.  As with so many things these days, people are asking if this will be the new normal.

After weeks of defying mandatory evacuation (orders which have been rescinded) and being stuck at home, I'm going to venture out today for some necessities.  Wish me luck.

Stay safe.  Be well.
