<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
Well, yesterday evening was interesting. After our house lights went
off and right back on a few times during the evening, they finally went
totally off at about 10:20 or so, and were off for about an hour. I
had to pull out my cell phone to use for a flashlight, (see, Mildred,
they are good for something), to help me find a flashlight and a
lighter and candles so we wouldn't be left in total darkness. (It
really is <u>dark</u> in the country when the electricity goes off.)
Other than major catastrophes, like a couple of ice storms in the past
several years, we rarely have a power outage. Years ago, it used to
happen every time a cloud came up, but since we've moved out there and
I made sure to be prepared with candles and wall sconces all over the
place, it hasn't happened much at all. While the electricity and TV
were still working though, I noticed a map displayed on a special
weather report that showed this area of the state, and which portions
were under a flood watch, and which portions were under a tornado
watch. It would probably seem odd to anyone but an Okie that these
counties were right next to, and even included some of the counties
covered by a burn ban. Gotta love our weird Oklahoma weather. After
raining all night, though, <u>maybe</u> the burn ban will be lifted. <br>
<br>
The entire Cafeteria staff will be attending a Safety Meeting today
from 2:00 to 3:00, and so will be unavailable for that hour to answer
phone calls. If you need to contact us, please leave a message on
Mildred's or my phone and we will get back to you after our meeting.<br>
