I Shouldn't Be Here
The power is out in our little neck of the hippie woods of San Francisco's Bernal Heights area. Our little sylvan hill—or at least our little area of it—is without electricity. It's so quiet in the house that it makes me need to seriously think about the number of gadgets that we keep running at any given moment.
Anyhoo, I shouldn't be here. Shouldn't be typing into my blog, shouldn't be online. No juice, right?
We have in our possession a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), one that I totally forgot we had. But as the power went out, there was a beeping coming from the front rooms. Lo and behold...net salvation!
We plugged in the cable modem and the Airport Extreme Basestation into it and voilà! Our iBook and PowerBook were back in business.
Good Lord, we're geeks. Ahh, and now the power is back on.

Isn't it funny how sentiments are a subjective thing, and so the expression thereof can be so wildly different from couple to couple while the sentiment itself, according to all evidence, so similiar?
