Subway Power!

We went and got Subway Sandwiches for dinner because our entire neighborhood (about a 45 block area) had no power (complete blackout) for almost 5 hours. From 4 pm to 9 pm it was dark. No street lights, no signal lights, no police out directing traffic. It was rather chaotic. The nice thing I can say was that our apartment complex could use a few more black outs. All of the neighbors were out on their porches and in the breezeways. A few of us went around our building and made sure that everyone had candles or flashlights for the duration, even checking on the one neighbor we always call the police on (many of you have see the pictures I posted about their cleanliness, but honestly, in the dark everyone should be accounted for). When the power finally came back on a cheer went up, everyone went back inside, and there are some of these neighbors whom I wont see again until the next blackout. If our power was off for a few hours every month, maybe our neighborhood would be safer, maybe we would all get along better, or maybe I would only recognize my neighbors when the sun went down.
