The guy a couple of posts down who whined about power outages, that is.
We had one tonight. Lasted an hour. I did an orderly shutdown of all six running computers in the house, grabbed a flashlight and some candles, and sat on the couch reading Patrick O'Brian's The Hundred Days.
When the power came back on, I fired up the machines and set four clocks, one of which I need to buy a new 9v backup battery for. Took about 5 minutes.
I really don't understand the hooroar, unless maybe whiner doesn't have a good book to hand. Shit happens. Tonight it happened to me, but I didn't make a shit sandwich out of it and bitch out the power company like some people.
