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.
