Power failure, the funny thoughts
When the power goes out, the house is silent. Look outside and all the neighbours are dark as well. Well, there is strength in numbers at least. The hydro company fixes the largest areas first, so if the power goes out you want to be part of that larger group.
Meanwhile inside the house the show begins. The thought of eating, but then no power to cook anything. The thought of playing the guitar, but no power for the amps, woodworking isn't as much fun manually and in the dark.
You realize you don't have enough flashlights. Most everything in the house doesn't work.
I went to use the bathroom and wondered if there was a catch there too. It would flush, that is good, the toilet paper doesn't need power does it? What if you get the job done and then discover your toilet no longer works.
Sitting in the dark is fine, just have to cleanup with cold water (we have on demand water heater which of course doesn't work)
Then you want to go outside but the garage door opener doesn't work, and you can't find the front door keys because you never use them.
