Decided to cook the Mayocoba beans for soup before I went to bed. Why? I
may be going shopping tomorrow, mainly to see what they have done to a
particular shopping center. I could put off the trip as nothing is needed
immediately. Anyway... The beans (even though the package said best by
Aug. 2015) were done sooner than the cook time indicated.

Somebody had posted to the community FB page and asked about a loud bang.
We had lost power right about then. But it only stayed off long enough for
me to have to turn the TV and computer back on and reset the kitchen clocks.
But I had a sneaking feeling that it wasn't over.

I had just put the cooled beans into the fridge and sat down to my snack.
And with the last bite, darkness reigned yet again. Seems a car hit a pole
and was stuck on it. Police had to have the pole removed in order to get
the car off. No word as to how it happened yet or what if any injuries.

Power is back on now and I still have my beans!
