Lights Out

Picked up a carnitas burrito from Roberto's and was on the way back when I ran into the blinking red traffic lights. Just a glitch? Turned for home and noticed that the Hilton tower was dark. Uh oh. I've never noticed how many lights there are in the apartment complex until they're all out. Fumbled in the dark for the keyhole and stumble in. Fire up the mini-flashlight so I can at least see what I'm eating. Let out way too much cold air from the fridge so I can grab a Coke.

Hey, I can finally justify the laptop! The backlight lights up the room well enough and it should keep me entertained until bedtime or until the battery runs out. And it's got a built-in modem, so I can just unplug the phone line from the DSL modem and get online the old-fashioned way. Funny how the Mormon temple still has their lights on. God works in mysterious ways?
