All Quiet on the Northwest Corner

friday afternoon there was a power outage at homer's, and all the other businesses near 80th and metcalf. apparently a transformer blew out. fortunately, it was a nice day, and we didn't need air conditioning or heat. nobody left homer's, a few people even came in and bought coffee... we had to use a calculator to figure in the tax... the phone rang a couple of times when people called to find out who was playing that night... 20 minutes later the power came back on and the fun was over.
