HI, Anne !!! (waves from afar)

what's FUNNY is... mere SECONDS after I entered the above post, the power FAILED again... this time for ten minutes.

this is gettin' kinda old.

since I spent the entire ten minutes hunting for candles, matches, kerosene, and lanterns in the pitch-black jungle-dark-night.

the outages aren't of long enough duration to turn on the generator, but just short enough to seriously annoy... what with frantically trying to save open documents, shutting down the computer, and trying to get things situated before the screen-light fades...

60... 59... 58... 57... 56... 55... LOL !!

now, the question is, do I keep the candles burning, just in case it goes OFF again?
