This is how petty I’ve become: When I heard on Monday night that some people not too far away from me got their power restored by Pacific Gas & Electric I wasn’t happy for them. I was just bitterly jealous—our power has been out continuously since Saturday. (That’s my daughter above, hanging out at home in the dark.)

I consoled myself by remembering my Marin County, California neighbors would probably have electricity for less than 24 hours. It’s supposed to be windy again today (by “windy,” we’re talking 10 – 15 mph during the day, and 2 mph tonight, per my weather app) and PG&E scheduled yet another “public safety power shutoff.”
