Last night, in California, we had a pretty good rainstorm move across us. Lots of heavy rain & wind.

Well, while working upstairs, the entire house lost electrical power and became completely dark. As a big smile spread across my face, I grabbed the waiting emergency flashlight that was sitting on the nightstand.

Immediately, I started running downstairs (to save my spouse and dog, of course) and yelling, ”My time to shine, my time to shine . . . “

Just after crossing the last stair and basking in the glow of my flashlight -- power was fully restored. The outage may have lasted ~15 seconds. I think even the dog was laughing.

Oh well -- Live to fight another day . . .
