Power Outage

Do you know what is really cool and not cool at the same time? Power outages. The reason they are not all that cool is because when you look at a stove for the time, it is not there. When you want to cook dinner, you can't because the stove does not work. If you want to heat something up in the microwave, you can't. Then there is the fridge and the freezer. There is the worry that the food might go bad. Especially when you have chicken in the fridge for that nights dinner.

There is a cool part to it. One thing is that you have to do something besides getting on your computer, which would be out of batterie. Homework for example. Or read a book. Or you could talk to someone. You could go get the mail and get a letter from your grandma. That happened to me. I like when I get mail. It would be cool if the power went out in the night time. Having to use flashlights and candles. How fun would that be? Probably get pretty old after a while but it would be cool nonetheless.

I went without power from 4:00 til about 7:00. I asked a police officer what happened when I went to go check the mail. He said that someone blew a transformer. I actually knew what that meant thanks to physics. It left all of Safford, Thatcher, Pima, Benson, and a couple other towns without power. That is a pretty big blow up. Crazy.
