Power Outage Take Two!!
Sorry there are no pictures for this post. Thought I would tell you all about our second power outage in two semesters. Friday just before 8am the lights started to flicker in my office. On-off-on-off-on-and finally off for good. Jason was at home making breakfast when the light did the same there. Within the minute he had phone calls coming in on his cell left and right. Any other day of the summer this wouldn't have been a problem but Friday just happened to be the first day of student leadership training! It was just like the ice storm in January, just 60 degrees warmer. After a call to the electric company to find out that a transmitter had blown and we would be out power for about 4 hours, the PPD (physical plant dept.) went into action. The two generators that were purchased in January were quickly set up to run the computer and projector in the classroom that was needed. The second generator was set up for the dining hall, student center, and kitchen. Things returned to normal by noon, but with many students wondering if we do this at the beginning of each semester. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens in January.

Jenn! Got an idea for you...next time the power goes out tell Jason not to call the power company. When people start calling him about the power he can tell them it is training for when they get to the field! OK I understand this might not work for the winter times! :)
