It's really quite disheartening to know my power will be out until January

At least, that’s what the electric company’s website tells me this morning. 2020 sucks enough without losing electricity for months on end.

I mean, wtf. I have never heard of these places so three in the morning I am scramblin with google to find out how close that is to me. I woke early this morning to such an orange sky with sun coming up of a smoked filled sky. It was awewsome in its doom scenario. And we have days of heat and wind. No rain in sight.
