So – barring any unforeseen disasters – like, say, a power outage the size of San Diego for crying out loud – we (TMBWitW, MEG, MEG’s sister-cousin, and I) are headed for Legoland. I will be off the information superhighway interweb thingy for a couple days – ya’ll behave.
I don’t want to come back and find out that Obama(THHO) has declared that an unforeseen power emergency has created or saved several hundred thousand jobs …
Chat ya later…

I arranged for two days of vacation this week – tomorrow and Saturday. I have tickets for the family for Legoland. The plan? Drive to Carlsbad, spend time at Legoland, spend the night at a hotel near Calrsbad, and drive home Saturday.
Then, somebody in Yuma triggered an “event” on the power grid.
That event triggered a blackout covering San Diego and the surrounding area.
That blackout strained the San Onofre nuclear plant, causing it to shut down, and powering down the area a bit north of San Diego.
The one little item that haunts me right now is that I passed on the $8.00 “just in case” insurance for the hotel (prepaid! on hotwire!) in case something happened and we were not able to use the hotel for the night we paid for …
Called my friend Doug over in that area. He called the Denny’s in Carlsbad – they never answered the phone. Not a good sign.
SomeOne has a very finely tuned Sense of Humor.
… sigh …
