In the Dark

I had to run some errands this morning & now I'm settling in to get some work done & return a bunch of calls.

Earlier, I was on Grafton Street, near the Stop & Shop with the gas station, and noticed that the stop lights weren't on.

After looking at the Friendly's, McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts (read: heart-attack row), I realized that the electricity must have been off. It was and many of the businesses in the area were at a standstill.

Now, having grown up in the Virgin Islands where the Water & Power Authority (locally known as WAPA), was notorious for running into issues, operating without electricity was sometimes a daily event. You just went about your business and did what you could.

I wonder how many folks are 'speaking in tongues' because they can't watch their favorite day-time television show or get on the Internet and send emails or read the news?
