The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

Emergency roominess

The vacant Lynn Hickey Dodge lot at 39th and May has been pressed into temporary service: this morning I saw seven or eight out-of-state utility trucks parked there, and someone appeared to be handing out assignments. (I hope that said someone is also handing out maps, since this isn't the easiest street grid to navigate.) I'm guessing that similar ad hoc meeting places have been established throughout the metro area.

OG&E statewide outages are now down to the 100,000 mark, half of them in Oklahoma City proper. With the arrival of Non-Horrible Weather, things may start to move a little more quickly.

On the blogospherical front, I still haven't heard from Mike McCarville. I don't know how things are at Matt Deatherage's place, though he did put up a Thursday post, which should be considered a good sign. Also still silent: Dr Jan and Aka Monty; Lynn S. has taken refuge at her son's house. (If you have status reports, feel free to drop them in Comments.)

Sorry, didn't know it was in doubt. We're fine here - nothing but a few power blinks, none strong enough to reset the microwave clock. Still recovering from the health stuff, and it's a lean winter, but the power didn't go out this time.

The blog server is local, so if you can read it, we probably have power in this neck of the woods.

That's good, and hope you get to feeling better.

Thank you, sir! A frustrating week....

Let the record show that Monty is up and at 'em.

And now Lynn is back as well.

So is Dr. Jan.
