Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

I mean, seriously. The power was out for what? 2-3 hours?
Sheesh. In my rural childhood, I once endured a 4-day power outtage. Ice storm knocked out lines all over the state, and those of us way out in the country were low priority. I was 8 or 9 and thought it was a fun adventure. And 2-3 hours wasn't uncommon during thunderstorm season.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
"inadvertenly cut a power cable" at a DWP substation in West Los Angeles.When I was a wee kid, I was sitting on a barstool in the kitchen and talking on the phone. And there was a pair of scissors on the counter. So, I am spinning on the barstool, talking on the phone while wrapping the cord around, snipping in the air and not having a care in the world. Spiiiiiiiiiin. Wind up. Talk. Spinnnn the other way. Unwind. Talk. Snip. No more talk.
I wasn't allowed to play with scissors after that.
Someone from DWP should call my parents and tell them that it wasn't my fault, it was inadvert.

That chick will be the one referring to the next thunderstorm as LA's Katrina.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

You're little late. We started lining up a while ago. Grab a lawn chair and have a seat.

Seriously. Monkey.
I guess, having lived through the 77 blackout, I'm less phased by them. As a kid, it was kinda cool.
The one when I was working in Beverly Hills was a tad unpleasant since it was raining quite heavily and driving in heavy rain without traffic lights in LA? Not so much with the fun. But I was mostly worried about not getting into an accident.
Not, you know, Armageddon.
