According to PEPCO’s outage map, it looks like S finally has power back, but we won’t know for sure til he gets home from work.



I can always find out whether my power is on or off. All I have to do is call my home phone. I have an old-fashioned answering machine. It only works when the electricity is on. If it picks up, the power is on. If it doesn’t, the power is off.

Outdated technology sometimes has its merits.
