Yesterday was an overcast muggy day that seemed eerie after so many nice days. It almost felt like summer-mid-day-eastern-seaboard-type-weather, a movement of increasingly thick gray moist air that crept ominously forward, culminating when the lights in my Seattle apartment suddenly flickered once, twice, and on the third time the power was lost... Dagobah seemed indifferent at first, until he became confused and cold. He looked so miserable. I had fed him his second feeding of crickets maybe two hours before 3:30 pm when the outage occurred. At 7:30 PM or so the lights thankfully came back on, and things were restored to Dagobah's universe. The original prediction for getting the grid back up was 11 pm (which I checked on 3G). I was about to drive 20 miles north to where my mom lives to warm up Dagobah in an old 20 gallon. I guess it was due to water and dust, a series of nice clear days followed by a moist day caused a connection to trip and a surge to follow. Something like that.
Anyway being kind of a doomsday guy, think I might invest in a generator, ha...
I took pictures of Dagobah's first power-outage.
I was actually really worried here, because when the lights came back on, he lay like this for an hour or more until he was alert again. That outage really messed with his internal clock. Good news is, he's just fine today!
