Power…

A power outage due to a really bad storm or an accident or something tangible is one thing.

A power outage for no discernible reason whatsoever with no ETA on a restoration is something else altogether.

This is the view in my bedroom for the past two hours…

TBH, my iPhone camera made it look infinitely brighter than it actually is right now.

As part of Nathan’s Spielbergian education, today we finished Jaws and Ready Player One. Jaws remains both one of my all-time favorite overall films and my absolute favorite horror movie ever. Try to convince me it’s not a horror film....

We get so many power outages here in Utah. And for that reason, I always have my computers on UPS devices. APC and Cyberpower have kept me connected and up and running for hours.

It’s rare here and, when they do happen, they’re less than a minute. Generally just a few seconds.

The rare here is Utah doesn't have power lines buried under ground so most storms can knock out our power for a good 20 mins or sometimes longer. It has been a good 4 months since the last power outage.

Now you’ve gone and jinxed yourself.
