Interesting morning. Got woken up about 8AM by a very large explosion. At first, I thought something had fallen over -- like my neighbor's house. All of my neighbors and I walked out in our backyards, in various stages of sleepware and hastily donned clothing, looking for rubble or smoke or heavy artillery or something but everything looked okay. The consensus was a power transformer blew somewhere in the neighborhood, but we still had power, so it probably was a few neighborhoods away. Ten minutes later, Georgia Power trucks came trundling down our street, so the transformer theory seems to be confirmed by circumstantial evidence.

disasters bringing neighbors together..

down to the bottom each of us in states of undress...paired up...apparent all the sudden who was..in the terms of an old song I think...WHO was zooming who. Or is that whom?

Lotsa mismatched clothes and visible underfrillies.

YUM.

Looked like everyone threw on at least something. I spotted a couple neighbors in nightshirts and such, but nothing that would interest the LJ NakedParts community.

My neighbor did grab me and ask if I could take a look at his air conditioner. Cuz I'm a computer engineer, everyone expects me to understand mechanics, too. I didn't let him know that the last time I looked at my air conditioner closely, I may have accidentally popped a tube, causing an entire system full of freon to dump into my garage in a rather spectacular fashion.

[I don't want admit to what may or may not have happened in my garage as a)there's a very large monetary fine for dumping that much freon into the atmosphere and b)I'm not quite over the guilt yet.]
