blackout!

So recently while sitting around, doing nothing of importance, all of the elctricity died. i thought maybe it was a neighborhood blackout. I sat around while thinking of what had happened, and what to do that didn't involve electricity. turning on the radio, I realised this was NO neighborhood blackout. this power outage covered the entire county of San Diego, along with the ENTIRE Baja California, and some other scattered parts of southern California. Holy shit. And as if that wasn't enough, I waited almost a day for power to return. But, really, it wasn't that bad. In fact, it was pretty good. The blackout showed Californians a day without electricity, and gave everyone a lively and neighbor-like outlook. People turned on their radios and listened to the radio host lively talk about how Southern Californians were having fun coping with what would have seemed like a bad experience. While bonfires flickered in the moonlight, people walked over to the next house to get to know their neighbors better. some actually joined their bonfires and spent the evening talking, laughing, and telling stories. It bonded San Diegans, and showed us that living without electricity can be an enjoyable experience once you get to harness it and deal with it firsthand.
