Excitement!

So, while talking to the Kommandant on the phone, a terrifying sound came from somewhere outside, the sound of VOLTAGE, lots of it. After recovering from the second cardiac event in less than two weeks, it turned out to be a fallen tree (or part thereof anyway) which took down our power line and placed it conviently in the driveway for unsuspecting visitors to discover. The power truck was here in 18 minutes; didn't even get to put up my sign!
