Darkness!  The power had went out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I reached into my nightstand where I keep an emergency flashlight that would light up the world, went back into the bathroom and finished drying off and  getting ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I got dressed and heard a ton of sirens coming this way, looked out the back patio to see a ton of emergency equipment on road 17 out by the horse farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I assumed a transformer had blew, but that was not it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A guy had crashed his car off the road, hit a pole and took out the power and continued into the field where he hit a horse and killed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wow, that is horrible.

Seems like we have had more power outages here than we did at the farm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interesting start to the morning today, took a shower as usual and was getting out to grab a towel, and bamm!
