Powerless

They replaced the hydro pole in front of our place yesterday. We were warned that there would be no power for most of the day; we had forgotten what that meant.

No power means:

• no light
• no heat

It also means:

• no phone
• no radio
• no TV
• no internet
• no recharging of cell phone and tablet
• no coffee

And in an apartment building it means;

• no Enterphone (that thingy that  releases the door for guests)
• no elevator
• no automatic garage door opening 

Oddly, what I missed the most was the hum of the refrigerator ...
