So, we, the wife and I sit in the dark. Well, not quite. It blacked out 4 times for a short time. Close enough to make me set my mind on buying a generator next chance I get.

But, wait. Generators cost money and require maintenance. And, of course they aren’t needed while we have power. Do I really want to go out and buy something I won’t use for a year? Who knows? I might not ever use it.

In fact, I might end up selling it for half what it cost. Then, I will lose power the next day. Isn’t that the way it goes?

Personally, I think it’s a conspiracy by those who build generators.

As it would happen. This time I really need that generator. It’s dark. I wonder if all the hardware stores are sold out. Then again, maybe it’s time to buy some ice.
