The Watt is the SI unit of power -- Volts times Amperes in direct-current systems, but when dealing with alternating current, if you introduce a reactive (non-resistive) load, Volts and Amps are no longer in phase and trigonometry enters the equation
Good evening! Mostly clear and 46 degrees in Delmar, NY. 
There is a west-northwest breeze at 8 mph.

Honestly tonight would be a better night for the power to be out 
for enjoying the stars 
but at least it’s back on and it’s nice evening. Heck of it is the power outage wouldn’t have been so bad if data service wasn’t out all last night and most of the day. 
I mean most of the things I do I do with my phone 
and I have my truck for solar power for charging the laptop. And if it was normal times and not a pandemic and I was working in the office, 
the impact would have been even less.
Having nearly five gallons of salt water ice in the freezer for camping 
the frigerator remained ice cold 
when I reached in for some milk 
mid-day. I left the windows open last night to keep things extra cold in the apartment although this really isn’t a bad time of year for a power outage – not too cold that one has to worry about heat or two warm and having to worry about the ice melting and things spoiling in the freezer.

The Trump administration has "taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy" in its response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the New England Journal of Medicine says in a scathing editorial that essentially calls on American voters to throw the president out of office.
It is the first time the prestigious medical journal has taken a stance on a U.S. presidential election since it was founded in 1812.
President Donald Trump said Thursday he won't "waste his time" participating in the second presidential debate next week after the Commission on Presidential Debates announced it would take place virtually in the wake of his Covid-19 diagnosis.
The debate is still set to take place in the form of a town hall, but the CPD said that Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, would be invited to participate remotely. Moderator Steve Scully of C-SPAN will be at the venue that was slated to host the debate, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami, next Thursday, Oct. 15.
In an interview on the Fox Business Network on Thursday morning, Trump said the new debate format is "not acceptable to us."
"I'm not going to waste my time on a virtual debate," Trump said, adding that he doesn't like the idea of a virtual debate because a moderator could cut him off at any time.
Good morning! Happy Dark Thursday. 
No power still this morning. Next Thursday is Average High is 60 
. Mostly sunny and 43 degrees in the land of the Delmartian. There is a west-northwest breeze at 15 mph. with gusts up to 25 mph

I still can’t believe there is no power in Delmar. There are a few branches down but not a lot. The traffic lights 
are working mainly because they’re on portable generators. Nice morning though. 
I ended up eating breakfast out back. 
Fresh coffee on a cold but sunny morning is always a good thing. 
Camp stove works fine without electricity.
Out for my morning walk 
. I thought they had power back on in Delaware but it’s just a generator. 
Today will be sunny , with a high of 59 degrees at 4pm. Four degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 17th. Breezy, with a northwest wind 15 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 33 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning, remaining cloudy in the afternoon. The high last year was 65 degrees. The record high of 80 was set in 2017.
I guess if you are going to loose power this is the weather to be in the dark. Nights are long but you don’t need heat 
but it’s cool enough that my refrigerator packed full of ice should be good for a few days.
It looks like I won’t be getting
