Today the power when off in the house today for about 3 hours. We had candles out and through out the house. It was odd. Out of habbit I "turned on" th epower when I went to the bathroom. My hand just flipped the switch. I read stories to the kids by candle light and told them that grand ma and grand pa grew up in very similar conditions. Coal stoves and oil lamps. They actually had an outhouse on their property. It was neat being in the flickering lights and moving room to room with a lamp. The sum of the 21 century left me at the flick of a switch. No lights, no TV, no computer, Mircowave and fridge gone. The truth be told it was qite scary for a bit. Old horror stories went on in my head. Zombies and aliens creeping in the shadows. ...... Just like a movie it was over in a few short hours.
