Last night I came home to no electrical power. It seems that the power went out shortly before 4pm and PG & E is still trying to figure out why.
Losing power is not a common occurrence around my area. Especially for the length of time that the power was out. To state the obvious pun; I was powerless. So much of my life style depends on electricity. It was a good time to catch up on some of the reading that I wanted to do.
Maybe it is time to start that emergency kit that I have been always wanting to put together.
