The Lights were out, however we were home
This is what happened Sept. 8, 2011 at about 3:33PM San Diego had a blackout. The county was blacked out well into the night. The power source from AZ was knocked out. So I left the office about 4:15PM and couldn't get passed the airport about 1.5 miles away. So I thought why waste gas, I turned the car around and went back to Pt Loma. I am really grateful for the friends I have there that took such good care of me. I waited around sipped lemonade and rested. Then about 7:26PM I got on the road again and made it home in record time. I have to say that it was nice to enjoy the stars and the peace an quiet. Ernie and I had a portal radio and that gave us all the information that we needed. We were able to plug in an old push button phone that gave us a land line. I remember Ryan saying Mom who is ever going to use one of those again? The answer me. We couldn't reach Ryan on his cell for many hours. Wit...
