Blackout

The dark clouds hides the spotted field of stars in the night sky. The lights of downtown provide a dim glow off in the distance, but other than that, there is no light, not even a street lamp. Odd for a Thursday night; odd and mysterious. Then in the window of a house across the way, a light passes over the window, then again, and again. Now normally that would indicate robbers in movies like "Home Alone" or the commercial for Allstate where Mayhem pretends to be a dog. (Don't worry, if you don't get it, it doesn't matter.) Then every house including this one has little flash light beams in the windows and people stream onto the streets to see why all of our electricity has gone out. HAHAHA! Yeah, last night we had a Blackout for our entire neighbor hood like 2 square miles. :) Neighbors congregated on the street, internet out, streetlights off, flashlights and candles pretty much. :) It lasted for, maybe half an hour, but we were afraid our food in the fridge (not powered) was going to spoil. It was fun. Except that I was in the middle of winning a Scrabble game....
