Another Day in San Francisco

The Sun never sets on an uninteresting day in San Francisco although you could not have proven that the Sun was anywhere in the sky yesterday because of the overcast of rain clouds.  Depending on where you were in the City the wind may have been gusting up to 50 MPH too, rendering all but the most innovatively designed umbrellas useless.   None of this day was too unusual except for the fact that the power went out all over the City for five long hours.  If you were in a high-rise a decision to leave the safety of a dark apartment had to be considered carefully because you would need to walk down several flights of stairs and possibly in a dark stairwell. Depending on which floor you were on, and we’re on the 8th, going down wasn’t the problem, coming back up would be a challenge and that was only if you could get back into the stairwell once you exited to the outside in the rain.  Now visualize that you live or work on the 37th floor. Oh, and did I mention that the fire alarm activated during the power outage, and it was instructing everyone to leave our residential building and stand in the rain while they figured it out.  Honestly though my physical capability isn't what I wanted to talk about today.    Simply, I wanted to say, "What in Ben Franklin is going on with PG&E that they allowed a whole city to be powerless for five hours?"   That was all I had to say.  Have a great day!
