Power Outages are Fun.

Last Thursday a (probably former) employee of the state of Arizona fiddled with a wire near Yuma and caused a massive power outage across Southern California and parts of Arizona.

I won't say it wasn't awesome. Because it was.

We walked through our neighborhood in complete darkness save for the light of the moon (and headlamp). The camaraderie amongst the townsfolk of San Diego was quite amazing. It took a power outage to force us all out of our houses and meet each other. We survived thanks to our gas stove/gas water heater and our arsenal of candles.

I won't say how many times we each walked into a room and absentmindedly flipped the light switch. I won't!
