Power Outage — Part III

February 27, 2010 — After breakfast with Pam and Roger, I headed back to Manchester, hoping to find the power on, but it wasn't meant to be. Temperature in the house now in the mid 50s. I grabbed the laptop and went back to the mall to check email and read the Globe. Killed time until noon, had lunch, came back home, still no power, headed for the movies. Power still off after the movie. Do businesses get priority when power is restored? The entire mall, only a short distance from my house, had power, the movie theatre had power, and I had no trouble finding a restaurant open, but my house and all my neighbors houses were in the dark and traffic lights were out everywhere, making driving rather dangerous.

Roads were wet from light rain earlier and snowmelt, and they predicted a freeze in the evening, so Pam kindly invited me to come down earlier and have supper with them and stay overnight again, which I did.
