acroyearwhere the FUCK did this storm come from? nothing all day, then we get on our way home from the annual party and pass through a tiny bit of rain, of the "big deal" type...
...only to discover that whatever the f' it was, it clobbered the shit out of a transformer, killing power from our house east well past cascades and north up cascades well past the costco and giant (2 and a half miles away). not a single light nor stoplight that entire way. nothing. cops at every stoplight (and even then, plenty of idiots not doing the "treat as 4-way stop sign" thing).
so, well, mr weatherman: WHAT THE FUCK????
NOBODY said NOTHIN about no rain. not even the slightest hint in this morning's forecast which was telling us that yesterday, today, and the next 3+ days would all be dry (and annoyingly hot).
so where the hell did this come from?
on the bright side, we thought about it and got ice to cool our freezer (and my wonderful steaks mentioned earlier) from a 7-11 that was lit, still open, and hadn't managed to sell it all.
on the brighter, we'd managed to quickly get it into the main freezer (which was still cold) in 10 seconds top, which should protect said steaks.
on the brightest side? 30 seconds later, our lights came back on.
I can't impersonate Gilbert Godfried close enough. I just can't.
