So read a book while the kids played card games or walked around the neighborhood until it got dark. They're all celebrating because all public schools (from elementary to the colleges) are closed. After it got dark, turned on the camping lanterns and hung out. And Ray's updating his emergency plan and supplies. I'm rather glad I'm married to a retired Navy vet because he just brought up some checklist in his head of what was needed to be done and provided for.
Power came back on at about 1:50 a.m. in my area but we're still under a boil water advisory so I'll be off to buy more bottled water and pick up more batteries.
But I'm rather perturbed that I missed Pres. Obama's speech AND the ******* NFL opening game.
