Down the road a piece, some nitwits were taking out a tree today and took out four power poles instead...and our electricity too. I was just getting ready to send out my article for the WIP but hadn't quite got there. And stupid me, I forgot that I have a laptop and can use it with or without power, as long as I have battery. Why did I forget? Because I broke the screen on this Mac 2 weeks after getting it, and when I found Apple wanted nearly the full cost of a new computer to replace the screen, I gave them the bird and bought a nice 17 inch external for one third the price, which I used for a year and a half before finally finding another reputable shop who would replace the screen at a reasonable cost just two months ago. And, in the interim I essentially didn't have a laptop and so forgot it was one. I had used it as a desktop for so long, it just slipped my mind, until my husband reminded me. See, I can be a nitwit too, even with all those fancy-schmancy words I use.
So, tonight, no television, which is nice, in a way. Battery power is at 62 percent, candles are lit, frogs are croaking, husband and cat sleeping and I am reading the real estate blogs, where the Great Decline is just started. But don't get me started on Real Estate, I'll be up all night.
Either Thursday or Friday the WIP will be publishing my piece on the Guerrilla Girls.
