You Know Your Getting old when...

You Know Your Getting Old When... (edit/delete)

The power goes out and your groping around in the dark for the flashlights and candles. Remember the good old days when 9 months after a power failure your family had a baby boom?

Last night we had a big wind storm, not Midwest OMG we're all going to die, but the lights did go out. Well it was a dark and stormy night and was the house ever dark.

Why is it that in the middle of the night when the power fails we jump out of bed to find flashlights?

At one point I thought to my self " what did they do before flash lights when the power went out". In the next instant I went dope no power to fail, throw another log on the fire.

We have become so dependent on safe reliable infrastructure systems that keep us warm, well fed and safe. The power was out for about 5 minutes which was about 5 minutes less time then the 10 we needed to find the flashlights.

So as one of my many New Years Resolutions I plan less Groping for Flashlights...

Where are your flashlights, candles, 3 days supply of water and food?
