Power came back on, but not for dad. He had an outage a few days ago too. Getting ridiculous. There is a young couple a few doors down from us. They have an adorable 2 yr old boy and last month, the mom had twins (one of each). 3 little babies to care for is hard enough without the power going out all the time. Poor #1 was in the shower. No fun if you run out of water before you rinse the soap off.
I get the whole "first world problem" thing, and really I am always grateful for the basics of life, like clean running hot water... it's an underappreciated miracle! But these dang power companies have got us addicted to our conveniences and gadgets, and it's like having the rug pulled put from under you to suddenly be cut off. Paying an arm and leg for it too! sigh
Rant of annoyance is now concluded.
