The blackout was actually quite nice though. We live in a good sized town and rarely see a sky full of stars. It was really beautiful to go out at around 2 am and look up at a sky full of stars and a full moon on a clear winters night.
Shame about the brushfire though. Don't get too many of those here.
Just me rambling inanely.

Five days!!!! It just took a matter of hours to repair the fiber optic cable that was cut.
