27 hours without power

For a computer geek like myself there is nothing worse than a power outage. This past Saturday a storm came through and knocked out power to half the city. I was in the middle of editing my web site when the lights went out. My girlfriend is off on vacation in Texas, so there wasn't much to do besides light a candle and read a book. Many large trees fell over, including one in my backyard. It kind of makes you wonder how long we could get by without our modern conveniences. 27 hours was long enough for me. Anyway, I'm going to work on the site again tonight, hopefully the power will stay on this time.
