WHAT GREAT LUCK ONE TO FORTY-NINE MI WUK HOMEOWNERS HAVE!!!

We (yes, WE) are still without power.  At least for my home, this is a new record:  8 days.  Our last record was 7 days, 3 hours.

I think this is the major culprit (from the PG&E outage map at http://pge.com/myhome/customerservice/energystatus/outagemap/zip.shtml:

Outage Number: 285089

It's the only outage remaining from last Sunday.  And I know we've been out since last Sunday morning.  Sigh.
