Its Thursday and finally life seems normal

Saturday - So this Saturday i decide to get the oil changed and diagnosed a few problems. Now it is amazing that you go in there knowing they are trying to steal from your wallet, and they still get you every time. Over 300 dollars bill, now some of that was legit. Like the small leak in my tire from a nail and the oil change. But I learned many things that they will not get me again for the rest of my life. But i thing i needed fixed was my rear window wiper, which needed a part sent. So i was like i can have that done on Friday since i had it off ( 9/80 work week).

Then i head to my fiancee apartment to watch my Purdue Boilermakers almost beat a ranked team (#16 Oregon) since i have left college 4 years ago. They had them and as usual Purdue fashion they let it go.

That night i went to see “Burn after Reading” at the theaters with my fiancee. It was a good movie, but i could have gotten by just seeing it on DVD.

Sunday - Went to Church and got some lunch then decided to head over to the mall to look for a guitar and other things. As we are driving the wind really starts to pick up and we see street lights falling from wires and all kinds of small objects blowing around. We get to the mall and about 10 min in there the power goes out and then 5 min after that 10 power poles have fallen onto the street nearby. We slowly get away from the mall and get on the Interstate to get home dodge debris and other things flying around. When we get to the Apartment ,yep, no power. Lucky a steak and shake was open near by to get some dinner.

But that night 90% of customers from Louisville to Columbus had no power.  That is correct 90% or around 2 million houses and business had no power Sunday night.

But i was really fortunate to have all my utilities since my city has part of their wires underground. But the rest of the people i knew had none.

So this has been i really crazy weekend. Had no work on Monday and Tuesday. and Wednesday we started to get some things done at work in one of the buildings which got power and then today we got the other building up.

So sorry about the lack of posts in the past week, i did not have a lot of spare time to focus on the blog. This just proves that you always need to be prepared for the worst. Never know when you will see hurricane force winds in Ohio =)
