The Storm Of The Century

Well, okay, maybe not quite the storm of the century, but yesterday a pretty bad storm passed through our area, knocking electricity out in a number of places, one of which was our place. I was at work most of the day, but my wife was home when the power went out, and the power stayed out for at least twelve hours — it was weird driving home later that night, seeing lights on everywhere like normal, and then turning the corner to our development and there being complete darkness. Suffice it to say, we had to chuck everything in the freezer and the perishables in the fridge. And we had just gone grocery shopping recently!

Anyway, thanks to everyone who entered the zombie mini-contest giveaway. The tenth eligible comment was made last night, so with the help of Random.org, the winner is … ST! ST, send me an e-mail at robert (at) robertswartwood (dot) com with your address and I’ll get a copy of Best New Zombie Tales, Vol. 1 out to you posthaste.

    We lose electricity here at the drop of a rain sometimes. What comes from living in the woods.

    Jeez, that doesn’t sound fun at all. I woke up earlier today and even with blue skies the power went out briefly. Guess they’re still trying to fix things and we lost power as a result, but even for that hour I was getting irritated.
