We had a blackout here in the middle of the night, which disturbed both MrsBlue and Hudson the wonder dog, as it caused all manner of audible alarms when the UPSs in my office kicked in. I ran around shutting them down, in case power was still gone this morning, so I could do all the updating that 10 minutes of power would allow. Luckily it didn't come to that, as all seems relatively normal now.

It might not be related but when this happened we could see what looked like a pretty big fire off in the distance. I guess we'll learn more when the local paper comes out... this is sure to knock the bake sale off the front page.
