If it's not one thing, it's two.

I just got a text message from my husband. He tells me that there's a car accident at the intersection a block away from our house. The stoplight is not working - no power, remember? - and people have been doing a pretty good job of treating it as a four-way stop. However, it seems that a couple of vehicles have become entangled.

A car and a Centerpoint Energy Truck. (you know, the people who are supposed to be restoring our power?!)

How's that for irony?

(not to mention that's the first sighting of a Centerpoint Truck in our neighborhood for a week...)
