Everything is right with the world.
For Father's day, my family bought me the video documentary Juice: How Electricity Explains the World, which is about life without electricity in Puerto Rico - for years after the Trumpers abandoned these Americans - and, sadly, Lebanon - Africa and elsewhere. I had the electricity to watch it.
It was pretty well done overall.
Of course I knew all about this, life without electricity, after Hurricane Sandy (during which I was pretty badly injured), but the reminder connected with the tropical storm this week in New Jersey was, um, um, for lack of a better term for it, "a useful reminder."
Like Taj Mahal used to sing, "You don't miss your water, until your well runs dry."

I guess when they got there to check it out, it was fairly easy to fix. I called my wife on the way home from work to see if I should get ice and she told me it was on.
We were lucky. Don't give up hope; it could come earlier.
