The Ohio Blackouts

With the recent power loss across a large section of the state, many people are trying to figure out ways to deal with it. Aside from the financial burden of losing food and spending it on ice and batteries, I think there is a small silver lining to all of it. For the first time in a while, I actually saw a lot of families out doing things together. Kids were actually outside playing games and neighbors were conversing. I had rarely seen that in years past, but with the onset of the electrical problems, it was almost a daily event. I found it particularly refreshing. I hope it continues.
