Bionic Teutonic

We just got hit with a crazy storm here in Seattle. Our power went out at around 9:30 last night and might not be back up for up to 5 days! Ummmm, what am I going to do without power for 5 days? It’s cold as hell at home. This is when I could really go for a cabin with a nice fireplace and some warm hot chocolate. This is perhaps a worse storm than the infamous ‘Inauguration Day Storm‘ of ‘93! (who knew?) 3 people have died, 1.5 million without power. Last night we thought there was a bunch of lightning until Ariel realized that it was actually transformers blowing up all around our neighborhood. When we got up this morning there was roofing shingles strewn around our yard (from our neighbors roof, not ours thankfully) and garbage everywhere. One of my co-workers sent an e-mail saying that 3 trees had fallen at his house - one crushed his wife’s car (she wasn’t in it), one is blocking his cul-de-sac, and one fell on his house! Anyway, I’ll be looking for warm places to be spending my weekend until the power comes back up. Anybody got a cabin with some hot chocolate and a fireplace?
