Anachronism

I’ve got their weirdest sense of vuja de — the feeling that nothing like this has ever happened to anyone ever before. I’m surfing the Internet looking for information about a current power outage. I’m doing it via the battery of my Powerbook. Oh, yeah, and I decided to blog about it. Am I the first to blog to the light of a kerosene lamp? :-)

The Dallas area got some nasty thunderstorms this evening. We saw lightning and heard thunder simultaneously (never a good sign) and then the power went out. Five minutes later we heard fire engine sirens. There’s a fire station about 5 blocks away, but it sounded like they were coming into the area. I hope everyone is alright.
