Bark, Bark, Bark

Its a little after 9:00 pm, and Gracie is outside barking at the moon.  You've noticed the full moon, right? Last night she was out after midnight, bark bark barking. I hope she's getting it out of her system early for tonight....

We had a slight bit of excitement this afternoon. I headed home after work, and couldn't get into my neighborhood. The police, sheriff's office, and fire department had roadblocks enclosing the area in this map. On the news tonight, they said over 100 homes were evacuated and over 500 homes had electricity turned off for the duration of the "event".

I hope this embedded map works right - click on the plus sign to zoom in - when you can see the area I've enclosed, the upper mark is my home and the lower mark is the leak.

Oh, yeah, I DO feel a little bit geeky because I embedded the map!  I just wish I could save it zoomed in like I wanted it.

Anyway, I called Joe, who was at home (but they let him leave). We went to the bar to have a beer and a burger, saw several peeps from our end of town there, and eventually someone got a call that the leak was fixed, power was back on, and we could go home. The incident lasted from around 3:00 pm until nearly 7:00 pm.

Woohoo, that's excitement in our town!  :)

Nice geeky move there, adding the map! Glad everything worked out, and you got to go home.

Well, that's enough excitment for a week - no wonder dogs barked at the moon all night!
Glad everyone is OK

Well, you enjoyed a beer and a burger and a little excitement.

Not bad for a Wednesday.

That's too much excitement for me. I don't like it when I am being held away from my house! (It's only happened once) Glad everything is okay and you got a nice evening out to boot!

Hills? Chuckle, chuckle. Where I live, we think of Scoobagirl's locale as hilly!

Alright Jeri, what did you do with the hills? I see no hills in your neck of the woods....
