Who's Got the Power?

Earlier today, I was in the middle of creating a post entry and things went suddenly very quiet. For you see, the electricity went out. It went out at the PC, for every device in the apartment, all over my building, and as we later found out, the entire block. That occurred at close to 5:00 pm. By the time it got to be seven, we figured we should go out for dinner. It seemed too much of a hassle to locate the camping stove.

First, we walked around downtown and thought of reasons why we didn't want to eat at various places. Basically, we're cheap. Later, we jumped into the truck and went to our buffet place in Surrey. For the same price, we had so much more to choose from. Actually, due to how I'm feeling right now, I'm pretty sure I chose too much.

Major electrical connections from the province run through this area and we've never been without power. Today, most of the city wasn't without, but we were and life sucks without juice. I even saw kids playing in the street undoubtedly because their PlayStations weren't running. Imagine, that!
