Hi everyone,
In case you haven't heard, Basement and Part-Time have been down since Saturday due to a power failure.
We got hit with a very strong wind and snowstorm. Several trees fell and took out power lines. Over 100K power customers were affected.
Our neighbors on either side had very tall trees fall. We were lucky to have been spared. Some homes have been damaged on our street.
It also was very cold with temperatures dropping into the teens. Our house temperature dropped into the 30s.
Power was restored at 4pm PT today. The house right now is still warming up to our usual temperature of 70 degrees.
Our Internet is not back yet. I did not get an estimate from Xfinity when I reported. Perhaps some of their cable lines are down. I just have spotty cellular service.
Bad weather returns tomorrow. So there may not be any Internet tomorrow either. At this point, I just hope we keep our power on tomorrow too.
I will let you all know when we are back online.

Quick update: Basement BBS is currently back up as dial-up only.
It dawned on me that my landline is underground. And sure enough, it has a dial tone.
So Basement is up at 503-245-5416
