Party at Mrs. Collins' house

Oh my how this bright a smile to my face.

I get e-mail alerts from my hometown paper, and this just arrived in my in box:

Power outage closes West High

A transformer failure at West High ended the school day early for 2,500 students today as the heating and other systems shut down, according to a statement by Kern High School District spokesman John Teves. Students should be dismissed by 8:30 a.m and those who came by bus will be brought back home by bus.

As a little background, back when I was in high school, there were a lot of power outages in the southwest part of town. And when the air conditioning went out and it was 90-plus degrees, they had to close the school all of a sudden. The teachers (including my mom) had to stay on campus. Damn, good times.
