--these were the last words I heard the Austin Energy guys holler as they were packing up to leave tonight. The transistor for our block blew out again(!) and we finally got a new one. Horray!! Too much time without electricity lately, in my opinion.
The best part about laying on our kitchen floor in the dark without air conditioning on what has been the hottest day of the year to date? the fact that we could hear almost every word spoken by the crew. Occassionally they'd get quiet... But then an eruption of laughter followed by a text from Lizzy (our friends and neighbors): "wonder what's so funny?"....and then we'd erupt into laughter. In a dark hit kitchen with my bare back on the floor eating tortilla chips... In case you missed the ridiculous-ness the first time around.
After the lights and electricity kicked back in and I darted around the house turning things off as to noe wake up the baby... I ran out back to thank the workers. Mostly for the power and for the fact that they are willing to fo this kind of work... But honestly, a good chunk of the appreciation WAS in fact, for the entertainment. :)
