This is maybe the 10th time this summer that im out of power. Not only am I out of power for the nth time, but our regional power company wants to do ANOTHER rate hike. That’s two rate hikes this summer.

And why am I out of power? Is it some kind of weather nightmare? Some kind of ecological disaster? No. Just a tree. A tree who gave up. Every powerline in my area is like 15 ft from a tree. They keep saying they’re going to cut the trees back. Every year. They never do.

The two kids are going nuts because of no power. I spent the whole day sweating in the yard. I just want to fucking relax. Instead I’m going to lead a Maoist uprising against the power grid.
