2046 - Power


Whats' that a picture of? Why the inside of my house last night from 6 until midnight when the power finally came back on. I'm watching my daughters dog so it was just the two of us in the dark.

I ran through 3 d cells in my flashlight reading the newspaper and some magazines I was behind on. Well that and going outside to see how the progress was coming with the power company guys. Hey, without electricity you have to look for things to do.

I think the terrorists are wasting their time trying to kill people. They could be a much bigger pain in our asses by just messing with the power grid. Without electricity WE would be killing each other in a very short time.

I thought it was a picture showing full details of Mitt Romney's economic policy. Silly me.

The worst kind of power outage is when the weather is cold. Or there's this terrific make-out movie DVD available.

A large-scale power outage can incapacitate a community.

Mike said...

Bilbo - It could serve a dual purpose and be that also.

Elvis - Luckily it's just cool right now around here.

Angel - This was very small scale. One neighborhood. People on the other three sides of me had power.

Sure, fine for you. I'll bet the dog didn't get to read anything.

I'm really surprised you aren't more prepared for natural disasters than this. I figured you had several candles, emergency lights and even one of those head lamps to read with.

Mike, now that it's cool I would love a power outage for a few hours anyway. Quiet. BTW you look great.

Mike said...

LET - It's to bad the dog can't read. She wouldn't even need a light at night.

Jay - I do have a head lamp but I couldn't find it in the dark.

Peg - I was wearing my new invisibility cloak. Think it's patentable?

Power outages at night are only good for one thing...extra sleep!

Amanda said...

Ah...a blackout. Its been ages since I've had to deal with that. Don't you have candles?

Mike said...

Andrea - It was to early for me to go to sleep.

Amanda - I'm not a candle person. I have lots and lots of flashlights. (that need to be upgraded to leds)
