2:15 am and one of my neighbors....

Knocks on my door asking why my lights are on.

Just after midnight the power went out.. a few seconds later my generator kicked in and I'm still sitting at my desk working. Didn't think about it again. All the sudden the dog barks and I'm freaking out cause it's the middle of the night.

I peek out a window and it's someone I recognize from the neighborhood. I open the door and they ask "How come your lights are on?" I'm thinking what a dumb question and I say "Cause I'm still up". Then I hear the generator in the shed on the other side of the garage (8 cylinder engine running at 1800 rpm) and I realize the power is still off.
