Ha! I should've had a party. It was such a surreal experience last night, with helicopters overhead, and the occasional silent convoy of PD cars moving thru the city. The thing that really struck me last night was how quiet the world was, and how dark a night really can be. Honestly, I loved it. No distracting TV. No computer. Just my dog, cat and me hanging out. I played guitar for them. ========= Cats were definitely cool. Neighbors too. Citizen traffic handlers at Sunset and Wickapecko need to review their hand signals. Confused the hell out of most drivers. Scrambled here to find alternate lighting. So-called high tech battery lanterns phizzled out. Kerosene lantern was missing a wick. Best lighting from batteried L.E.D intended for kitched cabinets, but never installed, so they were great portables. Cheapest palm-sized battery radio worked fine. Needed that to counter scary rumors floating around. Never installed the back up batteries on all the other electronic clocks and phones, so they're blinking away now. But TV STB auto booted itself within 15 minutes. I went from "must be my Christmas lights overloading grid. lol " to "terrorist attack" paranoia. Good grief! Nice to get phone calls from neighbors checking in. Time to re-evaluate my emergency preparedness. **************Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place.
