Ice + Wind = No Electricity

Snow would have been better.

Lost all power at 9:17 Sunday AM. The power was out till 7:00PM. It got cold and it got dark, lots of dark and cold in fact.

Of course I was personally responsible for getting the power back on!

How did I do it?

Simple!

Whenever you have a power failure go out and buy a bunch of kerosene for the smelly heater. Then, stop a Wal-Mart and buy a bunch of candles and MORE flashlights. Every man knows you just can't ever have too many flashlights... Especially when somehow they just manage to disappear.

Now, start the kerosene heater glowing, setup and light all the candles and within 15 minutes...

Voila !!!

The power comes back on, works every time.
