The other night, I got home kind of late (really late) so you can imagine my surprise at seeing 2 power company trucks in the parking lot outside of my building. I didn't worry too much, because the lights were on in some of the other apartments in my building and the power was on when I got inside mine.
It was even later (yes. I got home late, and then it was a couple of hours before I went to bed) that the power did go out. I mean, on the plus side, normally I don't really need power at 2 am, so it was thoughtful of the power company to do whatever they were doing then. Also, kids, this is why you should go to bed on time.
Anyway, because I was delinquent and still up, I got to see just how dark everything was with the power out. I mean, I have noticed that my place never seems to get super dark, but with all the power off--no lights from plugs or clocks or chargers or anything--WOW!!! It was actually dark!!!!! I kind of loved it!
I don't really have a moral of the story, other than I should try to get my place darker at night, but I'm sure you could find some deep meaning in there if you really looked for it. I, however, am not going to. My purpose with sharing this fun little anecdote (which was, I never knew how much darker my room could get!) is completed. The end.
