Well Jeff, I'll have you know, you probably know this already, but we had a windstorm day before yesterday and the power went out Saturday night, 20 minutes after I checked into the Saturday night net. And then it went out again on Sunday night, but I didn't even notice that it went out because my lights that I'm using right now are running on battery power. I have rechargeable music stand lights, three of them covering my desk, piano, mixer and window sill that I use as a kind of extra sideboard here, sitting in the window, nice big window. And I was looking outside going wow, look how dark it looks out there. And then I turned off my desk lamps and it was like no, it was all dark, all the lights were off in here and I was looking out and then the power came back on. And my kitchen lights came back on and the bedroom light and the bathroom light came on. I was so absorbed in reading one of my books, my desk, one of the novels I'm always reading. I was so absorbed reading that I didn't even notice that the power went out while I was in the middle of it because the lamp that I was using to read by was battery powered, is battery powered, it's right now. And of course my radio didn't go out because it's running off of a four cell lithium ferro phosphate battery that I keep floated at 14.40 volts with my bench power supply. And so I didn't even notice that the power went out a second time. But it's back on and it's staying on.
