I'd be okay since I would still have my cell phone and use it for internet most of the time. Now if the power went out and I didn't have a charged battery! Oh wait, then I could just charge in my car

I heard on the radio that they say something like 78% of people (who have smart phones) check their phones an average of every 10 minutes, keep their phones by their side, and could not go one entire day without it.

I'm one of the 22% that don't do that. Best way to reach me is to call me. I'm not a big smart phone person, they are handy, convenient but that's it.

Gee whiz! What are we going to do when everything turns to crud down the road and we have no power for days, weeks or even months?
Amazing how much all of us depend on electricity and how we freak out when it stops.

You are probably the only person I know whose ***** ( I'll edit it for you, Observer) APC was anything but an annoyance.

And while everyone is freaking out with no electricity, I will be reading by candlelight.

Like a cloud full of rain shouldn't hang in the sky
Ice shouldn't burn or a bumblebee fly
If you feel so happy, then why do you cry?
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense.

Like an ocean liner shouldn't float on the sea
A pearl in an oyster or a circus of fleas
Someone so perfect can't be falling for me.
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense.
[ Lyrics from: LEANN RIMES - NOTHIN' 'BOUT LOVE MAKES SENSE LYRICS ]
The way that we dance, the reason we dream
That big Italian tower, well how does it lean?
Something so strong shouldn't make me this weak
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense.

Like the lights of Las Vegas going out on the sand
A jumbo shrimp or a baby grand
How you're touching my heart when you're holding my hand
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense
Oh nothin' bout love, makes sense
