Howdy from Lamar, a town snatched straight out of the old west... they're so committed to authenticity here that there's no electricity! Oh wait, no, that's because apparently there's a huge outage affecting all of southeastern Colorado. Fantastic.
Thankfully I was mostly done showering when it went out, and we found a truck stop restaurant serving cold sandwiches and a salad bar so I didn't have to have granola bars and gatorade for dinner. Unfortunately, we only have a quarter tank of gas, which isn't enough to get us anywhere with power, and I'm not sure if any of the gas stations have figured out a way to pump gas -- not that any of us have cash to buy gas anyway.
What a mess. Hopefully it's back by morning.
