Musings
I think its safe to say that at some point in everyone's life they look back at the past and wonder how they got along without things like the internet, cell phones and computers. I know I've even felt sorry, for lack of a better expression, for generations of the past that didn't have what we have today. I have no doubt that at some point in the distant future I'll look back at this exact time and wonder how I ever got along without "device x" or "feature y". But at this point in my life, everything seems wonderful and I couldn't be happier with where I am and where life might take me. It's a great time to be alive.

We lost power for 3 hours last week and it was interesting to see what appliances kept drawing my eye.
This reminds me of a time when I was in college, when Hurricane Francis struck (2004) and we were without power for six days. During the same month, a few other hurricanes came through the area, and after those we lost power for a few days at a time.
That has been the longest I've been without power in my life, and really made me think about the appliances and things we use in. Looking back, I'd say it was a good experience, and something that would do well in getting people to just think about what they have and use.
