And as of Sunday I still saw a number of flashing red traffic lights – to be treated as a four-way stop should you encounter one.

Pepco reports last night:
“Crews have restored service to approximately 80% of the customers impacted by the severe weather that passed through the region yesterday and will continue to work through the night to restore service safely and efficiently for remaining customers without power.
The extensive damage makes restoring service to remaining customers especially complex. The work is extremely labor intensive and very time consuming. Damaged and downed trees must be removed before repairs can be completed; broken poles must be replaced.
We appreciate our customers’ patience and understanding as we work to return service. For updates, text “ADD OUTAGE” to 48710 and visit http://Pepco.com/outage for the most current information. Report downed lines at 1-877-737-2662.”

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
