Photo # 14: Darkness Falls
Today I realized how dependent I am on electricity. The internet, to be more specific. Because of the really strong winds, our city didn’t have power for about 28 hours or so. I didn’t know how dark it could get until I saw that picture above. It was obviously darker without my car lights. SCARRRRRRYYYY.
Random conversations in the dark (around 1am-ish):
Diane: ROSHHH WHAT DO WE NOW? WHAT DID PEOPLE DO WITHOUT ELECTRICITY?
Rosh: SLEEP!! It’s time to sleep.
Diane: No, but what else?
Rosh: Well, we can read. Oh wait, NO LIGHTS.
Diane: YUHHH SEEE, THERE’S NOTHING TO DO.
Rosh: Board games? Mad gab? Pictionary? Oh wait, you still need lights.
A little while after..
Diane: How did people decide to invent candles?
Not even gonna try to answer the question. LOL.
Oh, Diane, Mark & I went to my car to charge our phones. The power went back on while we were doing so! Mark’s face said it all. He couldn’t have been happier!
SO, lesson learned: Appreciate what you have when you have it. Don’t take things for granted.
Let’s pray for all those affected by those crazy winds!!
