humming

Still no power.... as we all wait day by day for the lights to go on so that we can have power without hearing the post-apocalyptic HUMMMMM of the generator outside the window and all around the neighborhood.  It is so bizarre, "they" (whoever "they" are) don't provide any specific information about when power might be restored.  I guess "they" figure we can process it better one day at a time, rather than hit us with the big ugly truth that it would be an entire week or maybe 2 since that's where we are headed.  But I think it would be less painful if we knew up front what we were facing so we could better prepare and absorb it.  But here we sit, listening to the on-going HUMMMMM and the funny thing is that I'm getting so used to the HUMMMMM that I don't always hear it.  And that fact rather freaks me out because I wonder what else I don't hear on a daily basis?  I think when the HUMMMMM finally stops, I will listen more carefully to the quiet and see what else I have been missing.
