The power is out. It’s out all over the metro. It was that way in jail, which
made things pretty miserable in there for several hours, but it’s no picnic
out here either. First, I lost a day of jail time, which I will have to make
up for at some point. They had to release us, because of the air conditioning
problem. It’s particularly hot these days, so leaving us in there would have
constituted cruel and unusual punishment. This post will be really short,
because I had to go so far to find phone service. It’s pretty bad, hopefully
it will be fixed later today. I flirted with just letting it go, and waiting
until later, because that would have been easier. It’s taking a lot, just to
get this out. Still, I didn’t want to leave you totally hanging, especially
since I have a schedule to keep, so I drove clear to the other side of Kansas
City to post this one little thing. Don’t worry, I’m not breaking the law. My
parole officer, Leonard is with me. He had some of his own work to conduct, so
it wasn’t a complete waste. We can’t spend much time out here, though, because
he has to get back to check in with his other parolees, and I have to figure
out what I’m gonna do for dinner tonight. Everything in my fridge is spoiling
as we speak, because I had to open it for one bottle of water, and that let a
whole bunch of warm air in, which won’t ever be cooled until the power comes
back on. If you’re in the area, stay safe, and try to find a shelter nearby.
They set them up in such events, and they are powered by generators. They’re
not only for the unhoused. If you don’t live in the area, and your life is
a-okay right now, then whoopdee-friggin-do for you!
