April 11th -

It's Tuesday! Ok, here is the "Electric Update". I found out that the village of St. Michael has power due to three generators. The largest one runs the village whereas the two smaller ones are used only as reserves. The problem we have been experiencing the past couple of days is due to the fact that the big generator was down. I am not sure when it went down but that really isn't important. What really matters is the fact that one of the smaller ones died too. This is what led to our powerless situation. As I said before, we lost power Sunday about 2:00. We got it back Monday about 1:00p.m. The village moved the generator so that it was working for the west end of "town" for three hours, then switched it to the east side of "town". The remainder of yesterday we were on for 3 hours, then off for 3. It was better than the night before that is for sure. It was a bit hard to sleep though. One minute I was freezing, the next I was sweating, and so on. At least we were able to warm up some. Rumor has it that the main generator has now been fixed. Let's hope so! Will keep you posted on that one!
