Arrived home...

...to a blackout. It covered a good portion of the city, but quite sporadically, so that some streets were half lit and half dark. I don't know when it went out, but it didn't come back on till 8:30 p.m. Never mind that I had a grip of research outlines and resource evaluations to grades...that I really need to pass back tomorrow...and I couldn't get it light enough with candles to see very well. I spent most of those hours petting the dog and staring into candle- or fire-light.
