as you may all know there was a black out in northern california i just went 20 hours without electricity i never even realized how addicted i am to electricity i went to kinkos copys and spent 8 dollers for 20 min of time on the internet on a computer people were nervously shopping for batteries and things to make them feel better the parking lot was full at the store i went to all the batteries were on sale there was a nervous mood in the store poeple being rude and grabbing candles and batteries running stop signs all the street lights were out there was long lines at restaurants my house was freezing cold no lights no tv no computer no oven no stove my fence got blown over in the storm but enough of my whining theres babys being killed in iraq
