It's pretty hard to see this corner at night currently because the power is still fucking out.

I distinctly remember that in the 70s and 80s, we fixed shit when it broke.

When I was in line to get my coffee, there was a lady in front of me form a near-by neighborhood.  She said that there is this big tree down that has fucked the electricity there.  They've scheduled the removal of the tree for Friday.  They probably won't have power back until next week.  

Also, cold showers are not as invigorating as one might think.

Yes, and one thing the power company SHOULDN'T do, is call you, ask you if your power is still out, and then proceed to tell you there is a crew "in the area", hinting that your shit is going to be fixed, and then, the crew doesn't come around, and your shit doesn't get fixed.  I mean, I'd rather just imagine my power company being slow and inefficient, but it's another thing to also think of them as a goddamned tease on top of all that.

When I was a kid, people hadn't learned to think of a functional government as a bad thing.  That came along when I was a teenager.  The results are fairly obvious, I think.

See? This is what is wrong in America, misplaced values. You little people need to settle the fuck down and wait until the important people get their shit fixed first.

We're one of the last neighborhoods to get plowed in the winter, so yeah, I'm not about to hold my breath anytime soon.  Thankfully my wife's step-father brought us a generator.  So at least, we can salvage the food that's in our freezer.  The stuff in the fridge is pretty much toast.

When the power company calls to ask if your power's out, scream into the phone "YES! YES IT IS AND WE DON'T KNOW HOW GRANDMA IS GOING TO BREATHE WHEN THE GENERATOR GOES AND HER O2 MACHINE CUTS OFF. WE DON'T HAVE THE HEART TO TELL HER WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF GAS."
