Yesterday, we received the gift of a line of squalls traveling one after another over our neighborhood. The power went out about two p.m. FP&L said that their equipment was at fault. I guess so. The flash and thunderclap were simultaneous with Mew leaping away to hide and the power failure.
I had just bought a flashlight which is a really bright led. I used it to guide me to the Nook which had just been fully charged. I read for the better part of three hours until the lights flickered back on. It is indeed that ill wind which blew some good, for me, at least.
We had turned off the beeping UPCs and the A/C, so everything electronic survived.
We were back to the future as soon as . . .

Don't you love technology - even when it fails, it works! In the good old days, I recall reading under covers with a flashlight - who knew the flashlight would turn into a nook screen? And, so would the book.
So true. When I go to the eye doctor, I listen to a book on the iPhone until they dilate my eyes. I do this so my distance vision remains unaffected until they test it with the eye chart. Then I read the Nook even tho eyes are dilated. I enlarge the print if necessary. Tech junkie and proud of it!
