Rain and Power Outage

Since around 11:00 last night until 9:41 this morning, the Jamestown, New Mexico area had been without power.

According to neighbors who contacted the power company, it was due to some problem at one of the substations. It was possibly caused by the rain we received over the past 12 hours, some of which were downpours (we needed those, anyway). We got about a half an inch of rain, according to friend Victor.

Since it was not a good idea to open the refrigerator and I needed to take my meds with food, I headed down to Denny's at the Flying J for breakfast. They are on a different power grid than we are.

Anyway, the power is back on and we got some much needed rainfall. 

I checked Barking Spider Road to see if any of it was washed out and it made it through in fine shape.  

Happy Father's Day, everyone!
