I might as well turn her electricity back on. *sigh again*
My entries are sucking on scores these days anyway. |
You need to take out someone else, instead. My dappled light is at 5.4, and I've been about .4-.5 below my average quite a bit recently. :) |
Okay, I've arranged for it to be back on soon.
Who do you suggest? I'm game.

It's called correction. And that's what you get for having such a danged high average :) |

| I was going to go see how poorly Wendy had been doing lately, but it just took too darn long to scroll all the way down that far. DPC really should give her a couple of extra pages for all those ribbons! :-) |

If you had no electricity, just THINK how long it would take to scroll through her ribbons... or even yours.
I really, really love electricity. Not the bill, mind you... but the electricity.

| In the olden days when the power went out, you all went outside and got together with the neighbors. Sat around in lawn chairs on the driveways. Drank soda or beer and waited for the lights to come back on. Nowadays you go sit in your car to charge your phone. |

We've learned a new word.
"Load shedding"
It sounds nice, slimming, or perhaps uncluttering your life.
In reality it is the term used to describe the sudden disappearance of power in some areas throughout the whole country, in an organised and rotating manner, because the country's electrical grid has less power than the demand.
Incompetence and neglect and party politics etc..

Too cold!!
Actually, I was excited when the power was out for days after an interesting storm. But then I opened my windows and almost everyone of my neighbors had REALLY LOUD generators.
I guess I don't blame them. We came here after hurricane Isabel and some people were without power for more than 10 days. |

Ten days you say. Where I live some poor folks were without power for a month or better during the 1998 ice storm.

Ah, yes. And before the 1930s, folks used candles, kerosene, or gas lights.
Not all that long ago...
I can remember my dad, in the 30s, toasting popcorn kernels in a wire basket, over an open fire, for a treat to have in the dim evening light. |
