EXTRA POINT
Surprise, surprise, our power is out as I write this. I don't know what time it went out but we have a clock radio that shines the time on the ceiling and when I rolled over at some point in the wee hours to check what the red numbers said, there were none. ;-)

Per the the VT Outages site, there are 271 residences in Newbury that are down, and we are one of the lucky ones. We've been waiting to try the setup that allows us to power the house with our car, but Mrs. BGA just happens to be away so I'm managing with a laser printer-sized lithium-ion batter than can run a handful of small appliances at once.

Eureka. The power just came on as I finished this!
