A big storm went through the DC while I was in sunny California. Many areas, including where I ive, lost power for a day or two. My Beautiful and Talented Wife (The BTW) had to go to a hotel.
This story from today's Washington Post talked about how everyone coped with the power loss. But the sign of the times is this money quote from a teenager who didn't have access to the internet:
Our only news source was -- get this -- the newspaper," he said. "I always read the sports section. But this time, I was forced to read outside my boundaries. The news!"

Budget Wonk - or excuse to spend !?!?!?
Why did your wife have to go to a motel? Can't she cope with a mere electricity loss?
Don't you plan ahead when you build, e.g. electric over, gas cooktop ... Solar hot water etc ???
Candles in the bottom drawer in the kitchen or top shelf of the pantry ??
Why pay for a motel ?
Stunned !
