Here's an analogy for you. Fill in the blank. A night without power in The Cove is like a night ______________________. Is the answer: A. In your most fantastic dreams, B. Filled with excitement and adventure, C. That is scary and fearful, or D. From the Stone Age? The correct answer would be D. Thanks to technology, having no power and living in The Cove means you are dead in the water. No water, because there's no power to pump the water out of the well. No going outside to play because it's nighttime and your neighbors think the answer to the above question if C, so they won't answer the door and you can't call anyone because you are the only person in North America that still has a normal analog telephone that doesn't need power. Sure cell phones work, but I don't know anyone's number. Oh well, come 1130PM the power was restored and we were able to flush the toilets once again. A good thing since there was nothing to do and I went to bed at 930PM on a Friday night. Let's hope tonight is a little more fun.
