grrrr, power out, fireworks

We just sat down to dinner and the electric went off. If it does't immediately come back, we know we are in for a "spell." OK we had dinner, but dang it, a John Wayne movie had just started on TV (not like I haven't seen that move a zillion times before). No air cooling, no fans, etc. As the night went on we had to retreat outside for comfort until idiots not far away haul out all their illegal fireworks left over from July 4th and start in with them. Harry is clawing at the door to get inside. MO.......isn't nervous, she's pissed! She's barking one loud sheepdog bark for every flash or boom. It's kinda cute.....apparently hearing loss has made her less nervous with fireworks and she can retaliate for the visual.

Harry lets himself in and goes to my closet, removes all the shoes on the floor and crawls in. I lay down and snooze until I'm awakened by The Duke bellowing during a cattle drive. Check the clock, four hour power outtage. Previous one lasted 9 hours, so this one was no big deal, except for the closet.

At least dinner was made before the power went out!
Geez, poor Harry and poor you without a/c.
Of course I couldn't sleep last night, power went out again around 4 a.m. Must be something big time wrong. We are live again, but I won't reset blinking clocks for awhile...just in case.
Conclusion: 2, 17 year old boys drunk as skunks plowed into a power pole about a mile away. One dead, other serious.

Years ago we had drive up liquor windows at liquor stores. Evening the lines would stretch for a mile around each store of people waiting to get their evening supply. Lots of power outages then to where we'd say, "Another XXX liquor store customer." Finally passed law you had to walk into liquor store.....if too drunk to walk, no sale.
crazy...and sad :(
I really don't understand why people my age think it's such a great idea to drink. I think they need more hobbies. Like sheepdogs!
I don't know why people my age think that sheepdogs are such a good idea; they drive us to drink. ;-)
