The power transformer at the end of our block blew.
BOOM! No power. Only our block was affected, just like the last time this happened.
The power company had it fixed in about 45 minutes. Which means it was just long enough to sit in a house lit entirely by candles and think it was fun. It would have been even more pleasant if it wasn't for the fact that the smoke detector is wired into the house; when there isn't any power, it switches to the back-up battery it contains, and beeps every minute and a half. beep ... ... beep ... ...
Off to go convince the cats that the world isn't ending.
