Lights Out...

So I was super excited to see the bus driving down my street. For the past few days I've been fortunate to not have lost power, cable/Internet, or phone (only a few days) but I've been confined to the house since I rely on public transit. I always thought it would be the opposite - transit would be there in an emergency - but not this time. I was relying on taxis until they ran out of gas.

So I grab the bus and make it successfully to my transfer point and realize that the power is out over here. That means when the sun goes down it's going to be pitch black. I'm now to my destination and it's the same thing. Oh what joy!
