Back to our regularly scheduled electricity. Yes we had our power shut off today because our electric company decided to credit last months payment to the old apartment and so decided this apt was in delinquency and cut our power this morning. They didn't bother to look at the old residence where they credited the monies. So I called Ameren after my landlord was nice enough to let me know what they were doing (she called me because we are not late on our bills and that seemed out of place) and they said they would get the credit transferred over immediately but there WERE NOT SURE they could get a tech out today to turn the power back on. I had some choice words about that and my landlord called them and found out what happened and she said that they had better get out here TODAY and get it turned on. luckily I was at a .net conference in Chicago all day and by the time we returned to Peoria it was back on.

Of the lake Dave and I live on. We finally have out kitchen pc up and running out of the pieces we had and then there was this lonely little webcam. So I decided that now would be a good time to hook it up and get some live images of where we live up. The pink tint on the sky is due to polarization of the glass in the sliding doors at some point i will order a usb extender cable and mount the camera somewhere it will have a better view. But for now at least there is a little webcam action on the blog.
