Not like the old days!

After a few hours on Saturday evening with no current (electricity) island wide...we ended up with a calm, beautiful evening the next day. Pics below.

It's more of a shock for current to go out now and unlike years ago, it's truly quite rare that this happens...but when it does, it's usually just a blip or at least fixed within 2-3 hours instead of overnight or within a couple of days.

Candles were lit before evening fell, internet was still going strong and we have great battery power on our computers...what more do you need...oh yeah, a couple of Red Stripe in the freezer! ;)

Kerosene. We had one at the yard. They were tricky to use but when they worked they worked good. Even made a little ice.

Marko...pay your bills!! :p :D

When we set up the tank reservoir system (or whatever it's called) that eliminated our water problems.
We don't have a/c in our house either...but being in the hills a ways makes for a much cooler environment.
When we lived deep West End many moons ago...it was annoyingly dry & hot! Riding around in the car with the a/c on...was a treat...lol!
