We have a local power cut so no fans are running and it sounds like everyone (us included) is sitting outside where it's cooler. It went off about 6.45 pm - my son happened to see a telegraph pole arcing in the lane and called emergency services - and it's due to be back around 11pm. It's so light at 10pm! Thank god for mobile data and charged devices.

I tried taking a new route to pick up my kid from camp (there's new bike infrastructure to check out). It was a bust, as half of it is under construction; the normal roads, not the bike infra.
On one of the residential roads where the top surface had been ground off for repaving, I got honked at & close-passed _twice_ by some asshole. The third time I caught up with him at a light, I screamed "yo wtf is wrong with you?". He rolled down his window and yelled, "fuc…
