Tongue firmly cheeked, SpudBob describes how the natives are getting restless entering their 4th day without electrical power:

Day four of darkness in the Casa de Spud (near CdA public golf course): We had some excitement last night. Someone down the street has a generator and a delegation of neighbors armed with extension cords and garden implements visited with him to negotiate for a little electricity. Regretfully as the discussion progressed some hurtful things were said and ultimately the meeting became less than cordial. A brick was thrown through his front window about the same time that he released his guard dogs, Leni and Goebbels, into the crowd. In the ensuing melee several of the stronger kids lifted the generator and threw it into the pile of burning tires which of course left him, like the rest of us, without power. The neighborhood was once again plunged into darkness (except for the faint glow of the burning tires) and the whole discussion seemed pointless. The crowd slowly dispersed. The rest of the night was mostly quiet.

One by one my rechargeable appliances are falling silent. I am afraid that my electric toothbrush will be next. Anyone know how to operate a manual one? I can’t remember and of course have no access to YouTube.

Question (for those still without power): Are you seeing any silver linings to your power outage?
