Generator

Even as CoVid-19 plays havoc with our lives, the folks in northern California have another challenge...the Pacific Gas and Electric Company aka PG&E aka Piggie. Last night, when no one was expecting it, the power went off. The house went black. The little "vampire" lights that never turn off, were off. We could not see a thing. We waited about 45 seconds and the lights came back on and it looked like were back to normal. We heard a soft humming coming for the general direction of the generator. We padded our way to a window and saw a blanket of black covering our little valley. It was spooky dark yet we had light. Definite proof that the whole house generator works. We had power. Next I checked the Piggie power outage website (we also had internet) and sure enough, we were going to have a power outage for 6 hours. I don't know if this was a planned outage or not. I do know that the generator works.
