During the PSPS, the blog is not my priority; gratitude and appreciation are my plans

Something to remember is that not everyone has access to cable or the internet or time to read every update because they work two jobs or work and go to college. Just last evening, I was giving information about courts, the PSPS to people at stores, getting food. It was the same last time.

Like all of you, I will be without power. During the power outage with limited options to charge devices, the blog is not my priority.

I will post when I can. I plan to turn off my phone or have it on limited mode to conserve power.

I will check on my neighbors, many who are elderly and with medical conditions, stay safe and enjoy the peace and quiet. We live in a community with mild weather and nature. I have enjoyed getting to know strangers and having pleasant conversations despite the challenges this PSPS may present.

If you have a roof over your head, a car, heat, a generator, can afford to leave Humboldt and go somewhere or friends and family for support; you are better off than many others.

In this age of instant everything, remember that media, law enforcement, government officials are no different than you. Some of us work 24/7 every day. This PSPS has added extra hours.

The power will be turned off, it will be restored. There is enough information out there already and several options to get updates during the outage. Stay safe and be there for someone unexpected.
