Electricity
My power went off this morning because a rather strong little rain storm came through anddid something to the wires.
Well, that made me think, oh good, I can do some of those little jobs around here that I've
been putting off.
That's when I realized how much trouble I could be in if the lights don't come back on like so
many are talking about on the internet.
Everything around here is somehow electric, even my water. My pressure system is electric.
My stove and refrigerator are electric. Everything in my wood shop is electric, except my old
broom, and you can only sweep so much.
Time to do some serious thinking, I think....
What do YOU think?

Refrigerator, radio, TV, computer etc I can run from a car battery using a power inverter if need be. Have wood burner and gas for house heating.
I better pull my head out of my behind and do something.
However, I have a gas cooker, gas central heating and a solid fuel stove, so I'd be fed and warm at least
It's very comforting, no doubt about it.
The extent to which our civilization is dependent on electricity, and thus vulnerable, is frightening...

Something that would've simply produced spectacular auroras 200 years ago, would (will?) be a civilization killer due to technological achievement.
Kinda ironic.
