Oh, the joys of electricity. We in our satellite Sunnyside SFist office had been without it since 8:43 this morning. Power was finally restored at 4:20 (hot!). We immediately plugged in our computer and iPhone and powered up. We couldn't believe all that we missed today! Britney losing her kids, Brazil losing some alligators, Gay tax breaks - wow!

It's amazing how "wired" we've become. It makes moments like the one pictured above seem much more precious. Watching our neighbors chip in to remove this fallen tree from the street reminds us of simpler times. Not really. But, we sure do appreciative our neighbors who are so neighborly, even when they had power all day and we did not.
