I woke up this morning to the ‘Tumor being down, and get home to the water being out.
Evidently, Oak Ridge’s finest (utility workers) have successfully dug a big hole.
At 11, on my lunch break, the dude said the outage would be for an hour, but apparently they’ve had problems, because checking now, its still out. I walked out to casually inquire as to when I may flush (currently in “let it mellow” mode, but with Pigpen around, may quickly escalate to “flush it down” urgency), and all the workers casually rabbited as I approached, fleeing behind the neighbors house, and peeking around the corner cautiously.
They are industrious, but timid.
And thats OK. We don’t need water, we’ve evolved beyond that. We have beer. And while beer can’t flush your toilet, well, we have cat litter.

If you folks need a place to flush…mi casa es su casa.

Nah, seems to be back up, but its interesting how the number of city vehicles multiplies over time. They’re flanking our driveway as I speak (type).

I know it’s irritating, but those public works dudes are pretty good at what they do. I’ve been torked a couple of times about loosing electricity in our area. Seems everytime a large dog pees on a power poll something shorts and the lights go out. Then come the OR lectric boys to the rescue.
