Today PG&E told me that about 3,000 customers (homes and businesses) in Newark and Fremont were…Read More without power from 7:57 p.m. to about 11 p.m. (I think ours went out a few minutes before that and I'm sure ours came on before 9 p.m. I suppose maybe some of those 3000 folks were out longer as they brought neighborhoods back up gradually, but my guess is that some bureaucrat guessed at the beginning that the outage "should" last 3 hours, and that became historical "fact.") due to a "device failure." (Now that's informative. My guess remains that wind was involved.)
They called and left a message on my Comcast voice mail to let me know the power was out and that it should be back on by 11 - but my phones require power so I didn't get the message until this morning. I just called PG&E to change the number they call with such notifications to my cell, but they were able to clarify nothing else.
Anyway, in case you were wondering, that is what PG&E now says happened.

I definitely rushed right into the shower when the power went out to avoid the dark! Apparently all…Read More the traffic lights were out in the areas you mentioned, as well as the Central/Blacow traffic lights. I wish I knew what happened, I should probably check that out right now. I saw a cop car and fire truck a few houses down on my street.

I remember as a teacher buying my own supplies. Looking back I don't regret buying anything and…Read More realize that each person's teaching style is different. The things I might buy for my classroom would be totally different than you. Running a classroom is a lot like running a business, there are expenses and you just have to deal with that.

It's definitely a great photo! We didn't anticipate it to stretch like that.
We'll change it…Read More eventually, but your friend should have enough time to check it out, John.

James, I completely understand and agree. The image is stretched beyond the dimensions it was meant…Read More to be viewed, but it was a pleasant surprise to see the photo at the top of the page! I hope it stays up for at least another day so my friend can see it. Thanks for your reply.

One story I tried to read had an ad covering 1/4 of it, and there was no way to make it go away.

You are beautiful and will never be forgotten! God had a plan for you Charlotte and these great…Read More people are making that happen right here now as you oversee above its great impact on those of us left behind here on earth. God Bless You!
