Power went down again at 6:00 this morning.

Corporations give money to Trump because they, like him, only care about themselves.

Something a bit positive (personally) with all the fires around the south land: Moon Rise this afternoon. Also, so far 54 hours without grid power (due to winds and fire), but the house battery is fully charged, and even gained some charge for the car.

I didn't expect the fires out here in So Cal, but I'm only surprised by how they've spread. I know multiple people who have either evacuated, or are under threat, and one who has taken in a flock of chickens. Our power has been out 17 hours so far, but solar and batteries are holding out.

Let's see if, and if it does occur, for how long this power outage lasts. Not all of their warnings come to pass, but this is one of the longer time frames they've given...

Big Bear Village on a Sunday night. 35F, but no snow due to the dry weather. Not many people on the street, they're all in the restaurants.

In 1979, Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed at the White House.

Ronald Reagan had them removed.

We may be able to trace back the current "Do Harmful Things if it Trolls the Libs" Republicanism to Reagan removing those panels the far more forward thinking Carter had installed.

Forgot to post updates, in case anyone cares...
Power was restored after 19 hours. The worst this past year was 36 hours of Safety Shut Down. They still charge for the meter. Any losses (i.e. spoiled food), your problem. That's why I had batteries installed last year.

Southern California Edison did another Public Safety Shut Down at 7:15 this morning, with Wednesday morning as the estimated restoration time. So far, batteries are fine and the solar panels are recharging them as expected. I wonder if we still pay for the daily meter charges when they cut the power
