I'm Treat Lady again today...
Aug. 15th, 2003 07:41 amTreat lady sez: Life looks more interesting when you have a chocolate croissant in front of you:)
Meanwhile I'm checking out the blackouts...Wow. Biggest blackouts in history.
And all just what the grid's supposed to do...
*Is grateful for a moment that she's a Midwestern girl*
Granted, there's lots of things you can do when the power goes out....Play, "Where did I put the goddamn candles?" count how many buckets worth of sweat you can put out in an hour, figrue out how you're gonna get out of the subway car you're stuck in, loot the neighbors...A coworker mentioned that the last time there was a giant blackout, 9 months later the hospitals were so full of babies they couldn't keep up. So there's that, too...You can defrost the fridge, too, while all the chaos is happening. You can see how good your night vision is, grab a dark sheet or something and run around the yard screaming, 'I'm Batman! I'm Batman!" Heh...or maybe that's just me. You could sleep next to a nice big baseball bat for those who picked the "Loot the neighbors" option, or just see how much of the new Harry Potter you can get through by candlelight.
I guess my point is I'm not sorry for missing all that fun. I love you, little a/c in the window....
