I'm glad that you got electricity back on! (My sister a few miles away was worried about that possibility here. I said that if the power went out, I'd just plug a couple electric heaters in! She thought I was seriously stupid for a moment.)

I prefer, when it is summer, to think about "the old days" without cell phones, Wal-Mart, etc, when my house was a stage coach station.
