Off the Grid Part 4?
It hadn't been an hour since I commented to my husband how much I enjoyed having electricity (we were talking about living in the "good old days") last night when we had an electrical storm and the power went out. Recalling last January when our power was out for FIVE DAYS, my comment was "THIS is NOTHING". Last night the power was off from 9 pm until about 12:15 am. Of course we had all the windows open to compensate for the lack of air conditioning (not an issue last January), so we had the opportunity to involuntarily participate in a party going on down the road from us. They had hooked up a generator so they could play their loud music. You would think we lived in the city, but we don't. We're rural. Maybe not rural enough...;-)
We're also remembering that we need to get a hand-powered water pump so we can have water when the power is out.

The electricity going off generated much excitement here, and I "fondly" remembered our 5 days in Jan. also. Lights out brings everyone's flashlights out, wipies for hand washing, and no opening of the fridge, freezer or flushing the potty. There is also nervousness at bedtime due to the increased darkness.
