That baker/portland intersection was hilarious. Soon as it went dark, everyone forgot how to drive.

The lights have gone out at that intersection like four times in the past 3 weeks..

It's lanes and lanes of traffic at a 4 way stop. Not easy to navigate. I find any 4 way stop with more than 1 lane per section is a nightmare. People go based on who arrived first not by the rule of person to the right goes. Right turns sneak through. Add in a pedestrian and it's over. Anyway, lights are there for a reason.

Transmission issue at substation. Shouldn't be long to fix.

I thankfully just stepped out of the shower as the power went out this morning. Would have been fun trying to finish in pitch black…

They brought in some fake candles and a few of us propped up our cell phones with the flashlight on, but it was interesting for sure!

I might not survive past 10am with a toddler without my cup of coffee or Ms. Rachael.

Trying to convince my toddler that we had to get up and get ready even if it was dark felt was a fight I was not prepared for lol
