60 hours and counting

musings from the midst of a massive power outage athwart a heatwave:
  • the simple life is a farce. the simplest life is intricately and ornately bound in a finely interlocking grid of electrical cables that holds it as willing chattel babbling on unthinkingly about mother earth.
  • when housework is proscribed because there is no light and no power, life isn't all that bad, really. except for the dreadful mugginess, of course. 
  • the best time to have a power outage, all things considered, is when everyone else in the household is away on holiday or business. it makes for more logistic efficiencies and it conserves the hot water. 
  • i surprise myself every morning when i awaken from yet another night of refreshing, non-climate controlled sleep.
