Power!/Baltimore/Music
We have survived! All is back to normal (if this place in Virginia could be considered normal at all) in our neck of the woods. I was at work getting bits of weather news about tornadoes touching down around our store. Things went about as they normally do though, except maybe our customers were about 40% less than usual. However, Cyndi was trapped in the apartment without power not knowing what the hell was going on. Our hallway is a pretty fun wind tunnel and made it so she couldn’t open the door with the storm outside the living room window. When the wind broke she made her way down to the lobby with other residents. They gave us candles and tips to deal with the lack of power. After a few days and a predicted return of power to be FRIDAY 10PM it came back mid-afternoon Friday. So, we have lights, we have cable, we have air conditioning for the record breaking temperature weekend. All is well in Virginia.
The Cabrio has a new serpentine belt (a what?) and we took it to Baltimore last night. Baltimore! We saw a great show- Cyndi’s favorite band, Rilo Kiley. They had a really good (and really fitting) opening band called Thao with the Get Down Stay Down. We got there hours early because I didn’t know it was Saturday because I never know what day it is and was nervous about traffic heading up north. It was the first time I had gotten early to a concert since we used to go in high school. But we got a great spot that I guarded with my intrusive elbows. All was worth it.
Baltimore was pretty cool. It seemed a little sketchy as we were walking around, but there was water and boats and some entertaining nightlife.
I’m out! Off to work! I loooooooooove night shift. Ha.
