(laugh) I remember how we neighbors got together more, how we connected, how we vowed to do this once the 'lectricity was restored-but you know what happened - soon as it was, we all went back inside to ac and tv and whatever.<BR/><BR/>Here on the mountain, if the electricity goes out, there aren't many neighbors to sit on porches, but, and we don't have many outside lights (in fact we hate it when someone blares lights at night) but I do miss my coffee - I want a battery operated coffee maker, that's what I want!Kathryn Magendiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863595228298349863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751877036536774816.post-33445181588357336192008-09-10T06:40:00.000-04:002008-09-10T06:40:00.000-04:00Angie, The comforting "whoosh" of a propane burner...Angie, <BR/>The comforting "whoosh" of a propane burner starting to brew the pot of coffee the old way. I never realized how noisy the TV really was. Quiet evenings after curfew just easing int o the night. Honestly, not a bad way to do things. We may need to rethink our dependence on things, after cooler weather comes to visit.<BR/>OrenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
