January 28th, 2013 - Black-Out

Stayed in today to catch up on our writing and various other activities that have found themselves on the backburner. The need for food and shelter has taken priority of late. We also experienced our first black-out tonight! The novelty will probably wear off quickly, but it was pretty cool.




The power was down for a few hours. At first we were worried that it was just our apartment, but Geogirl was brave and walked down to the front office to check. I’d have just never mentioned it and lived without power for the next six months rather than go and ask someone about it. Being an introvert can be more perilous than you might imagine.

But the power came back on eventually, and in the meantime it was kind of nice not having the distraction of technology to occupy my attention. We sat out on the balcony and entertained ourselves with a flashlight while admiring the ocean view at night.

Why was there a power outage, you ask? I’m no electrical engineer, but my guess is that the powerlines might be to blame:




Like I said: not an electrical engineer, but it’s looking like a good bet.
