Candles

From my favorite artist Gerhard Richter
http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/
Things you discover when the power goes off...
You are so thankful that you have a gas stove and can still cook!
You are thankful for the stash of candles that is around!
Everyone usually congregates in one room... where most of the candles are.
People actually talk to each other... there is no tv, no computer, and even books are a little hard to read.
You actually go to bed a little earlier, and sometimes even sleep better.

That's why we've decided to do a power outage on a more regular basis.

  1. we had power outages because of a snow storm...it reminded me of power outages in gabon! except less hot, I actually wanted to light candles, and cold showers were NOT an option.
