The Bad Old Days

Sleeping in the dark is quite lovely, but I can assure you that doing pretty much anything else in the dark truly sucks. Computers don't work in the dark, and there is no Internet, and making coffee is somewhat less than satisfactory. Our power went out at about 6:00 last night and did not come back on until almost 7:00 this morning. We have yet to ascertain the cause. It certainly was not weather, and the power company recording merely says that "a combination of causes caused problems with overhead lines," which is both grammatically and informationally unsatisfying.
