I'd love to help you but I'm powerless

Had an interesting couple of days yesterday and the day before.  At approx 1030pm Thursday night the lights flickered in the storm and the power went out.  We have been in the middle of a 90+ degree heat wave which hasn't abated.  Without air conditioning there was little relief.  

In the morning many of  the residents headed down to the lobby where our gracious management team fed us with coffee and donuts then  hot dogs and chips for lunch.  We went to Andrews for a respite from the heat with Harry.  The trip was somewhat harrowing with most of the traffic signals out along the way and major trees up rooted or cracked in half thru the city of Beverly Hill and Southfield.  Andrew's neighborhood was not affected.  

We came home in the early evening to fetch pills for me and dog food for Harry.  Our ride was not nearly as problematic as the last one.  Stepping out of the car, we heard the whir of air conditioners.  The power had returned and things were cooling off.  This was a most pleasant surprise.   All was back to normal.  You never know how much you appreciate traffic lights or electricity.

Things are calm and cool for the morning with hot temps promised by mid day, but no storms.  Stay cool!

all for now
