What was with the peloton cycling down South Shore today, with the police escort?

UPDATE: About 2k customers were impacted, power was restored at just under four hours. All is well, thanks for all the tips!

We have a planned outage tonight for eight hours. No AC, no fans, no fridge/freezer. I'll sleep in the basement, but why doesn't CE offer a credit for what will likely spoil in the fridge? Anything without refrigeration for over four hours is not safe to consume; the freezer should be okay but not the refrigerated items. According to their site, they only offer a credit if we are w/o power in this situation for 16 hours (and coincidentally, if they don't get the work done they are going to do it again next Saturday).

My sibling has bvFTD, for the longest time we thought she had Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (different from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) but she got the bvFTD diagnosis. From what I've read, this horrible disease seems to strike people differently; with her, she's always been the perfectionist, controlling type (think Martha Stewart) and now, it's just constant questioning, judging, criticizing, nagging and disappointment on her part...How do you all deal with it?

Example: I got out of the shower and had wet hair "aren't you going to dry your hair?" "No" "Why aren't you drying your hair? I dried my hair." "I don't need to dry it" "Do you need a blowdryer?" "No, I'm not drying it" "I have a blow dryer, is there one in your bathroom?" "I'm not drying my hair" - and on and on and on like this about everything until I snap and raise my voice at her. I snap at her all the time and am really struggling - I know it's the disease but it is so hard to be around her, so then there is guilt. Her husband divorced her pre-diagnosis, on the one hand I am mad at him for cutting and running; but on the other, I get it. We (the other siblings and her kids and friends) no longer can spend long periods of time with her, she's so lonely and constantly wanting to visit or take trips together. It's so sad.
