About 6PM last night, there was the sound of an explosion down the block and then all our power went down. The high winds blew some transformer in the Valley and triggered scattered power outages. Ironically, in the area around my apartment...and my church. Indeed, as I was driving to church, most of the homes in between were lit up like Vegas.
We did have the scheduled candlelight service---by complete candlelight. And there were about 75 people there, many of them unware of the power issues because their homes were fine.
This must have been what it was like to have Christmas in 1879. No TV, no radio, no internet. Just people.
And this classic says it all. Simply. Eloquently.
Dinner last night: Some chips. You can't cook in the dark.
