BANG!!! Went the New Year
I was on milking duty last evening and got in the house about 11:10. I usually have devotions before going to bed (the house is nice and quiet). Well, I finished my devotions and was eating my snack and reading The Spirit Of the Disciplines when the lights went out. I was sitting at the kitchen table in total darkness. I looked out the window towards the farm. I saw the dusk to dawn lights were on. While my brain processed this information I saw the lights wink at me and then go dark. It is a very strange feeling to have the world be completely dark except for the light God provides in the night sky. I decided to check on the girls and began to stumble towards their bedroom. I did manage to stay in the upright position but their were a few perilous moments. The current came back on sometime in the night. I heard our printer resetting itself and this allowed me to peacefully go back to sleep. What is your worst or best lack of current story?

In July of '95 we had a storm go thru our area and left trees down all over. At the campus where I worked, it took the whole rest of the year to get them all cleaned up.
But we lost power for three or four days straight. I remember my Dad hooking up the generator to recharge the freezers, lest we loose all our frozen food.
You don't realize how much you depend on electricty until it's off!
