The Universe is conspiring against me...
There was a hell of a wind storm last night - trees are down all over the island, and several counties have reported power disruptions. We lost 5 trees (or large branches) last night. It sounded like a war zone at times.
So we have no power, which means I can't work on the motorcycles, as was my plan.
This is getting really annoying.
I tried taking a trip to the recycle center a bit ago, figuring that opening a bunch of garbage bins doesn't require electricity, so I could at least get some crap out of the house. Loaded up the car, got to the drop-off center and (drum roll please) they were closed. Took more detours than I could count on the way back - finding down trees and blocked roads all over the island.
I'm posting this via the magic of notebooks (with batteries) and my Bluetooth phone. Sometimes I think we've invested in the wrong technology somewhere along the line...

On the other hand, it's quite impressive you can still post this. You might not have electricity, but geek cred is happening in spades.

It's that whole "single point of failure" thing. :)
