Gas ranges are better than electric.

 How I Spent My Super Bowl

Boned Jello


Power outage during half-time.  Outside temp 17º.  Crossword puzzles, old newspapers.  Until just now. Power. Yay.

A few weeks ago (about the same outside temperature) we had the same problem and apparently the same solutions. Funny thing was, each time I walked into a room, I flicked on the light switch.

Duh.

I did too. Also, I was reminded [ahem] of some comedian's line about how men pee in the dark when they wake-up in the dead of night. Move it around until you hear it hit water, and hold it there.

Oye.

Also, it took me awhile to find the Grundig emergency radio, so it was well into the early hours that I found out the Saints won. And how they won.

Chez BlogDog lost power on Saturday afternoon but the good folks at Dominion Power (We have Dominion! We are Powerful!) got things restored after about 5 hours so I didn't have to bore myself to sleep in the dark.

My entertainment was watching the latest "Star Trek" flick on the laptop. Until the batteries died w/ 1/2 hour to go. (sigh)

Go to www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com. I have a 8Kw backup unit. With UPSs I even use my computers when it's running.

I have a generator, but chose to sit in the dark rather than try and find it in the garage, and siphon enough gas to run it. As I was ready to crank it up this morning when the power came on.
