Whenev...Oh so you and Josh are THAT kind of people? Whenever we have any type of situation here, be it hurricane, blackout, whatever, all the curious people come out and clog up the streets. That would be fine if it didn't mean that you hinder those of us that have to go out to make sure people are safe. All the extra cars out on the road make it difficult for us to get through in a timely fashion. Now I know next time we have a crisis here I am probably going to be fighting my way around people and yet looking to see if any of them are you and Josh! LOL<br /><br />Oh and PS- Now that the lights are on, go out to the garage. Look up at the door closer. There should be a short rope hanging from it. Pull that and it releases the garage door from the opener so you can open it manually. <br /><br />What would you do without me? Hehe Just picking on ya as I always do.

You'll have to update when you find out who cut what, or dug up what that happened.<br /><br />I remember about 11 years ago I worked at the mall and somehow a grid went out in NM that affected 4 states! ALL of Lubbock was without power for over 6 hours! <br /><br />I understand how scared you were!<br /><br />Glad things are back to normal.Cozyflierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01246670931088678205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976163209969241255.post-48560948749334802082009-04-28T11:35:00.000-05:002009-04-28T11:35:00.000-05:00Kids especially have a hard time with this...I kno...Kids especially have a hard time with this...I know my Josh does anyway! He sleeps with a light on and totally freaks out if it goes out in the middle of the night....he doesn't understand why the light won't come back on. It is amazing how much we depend on certain things and how much things have changed over the years...one thing that comes to mind...we had an old rotary dial phone at work for customers to use...a kid needed to use the phone one day to call his parent...when I put the phone on the counter, he looked at it and asked how he was suppose to dial it!!! He had no idea how to use it...kids these days have never lived without touch tone phones, microwave ovens, etc.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01306592198200920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976163209969241255.post-82754065981826323402009-04-28T11:19:00.000-05:002009-04-28T11:19:00.000-05:00Wow Dena, Sorry you felt that way, it must have be...Wow Dena, Sorry you felt that way, it must have been really scary.<br /><br />I don't know, I generally don't jump to invasion when the lights go out. I usually get very upset because it's usually either right as the most exciting part of the movie takes place or that I was in the middle of a good video game match. Course during those times, my wife does have a way of cheering me up when we're all alone in the dark.RileyScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02944320276824503953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976163209969241255.post-19478794174470572372009-04-28T10:20:00.000-05:002009-04-28T10:20:00.000-05:00My husband cannot function when the electricity go...My husband cannot function when the electricity goes out. It totally freaks him out. Me...I figure "this too shall pass."
