Thanks, HOA

Last night after the regular Wednesday night dinner and line dancing lessons with the ladies, it began to rain (right as I was running from my car to the building of course). And then the lightning came, and it was all around us. We live in the only high rise in about a 4 block radius, so we could see a lot of action. And then lightning struck back behind us, and everywhere outside around us went black.

Our electric clicked off for about a half second, and then clicked back on...because our building has a generator. Score one for the Homeowners Association. Actually, score two because they pay for the building's water bill every month (and since one of our cats will only drink out of the faucet, we use a fair amount of water. Sorry, Environment.)

Recently, I've been getting bored of the condo because it's done being decorated, and I've been wanting to buy a house (which would be impossible, given that there's no way we could sell the condo right now, but still). And then I remember that houses come with lots of extra space to clean, and yard work to do; and if I lived in a house last night, I wouldn't have had electricity. And it would have been hotter than hell while I was trying to sleep. So I guess I'm pretty pleased with the condo after all. :)
