LOL I couldn't get used to it either. I'd lose power at least once a month - and that's a low estimate. So, I got solar and wind - and a giant generator just in case those didn't keep me powered up.
I don't have any back up power supply here. I'm sitting on the porch waiting for the power to be restored.
The sky has brightened up considerably the last few minutes. Its bright and orange out here now
Red sky at night, sailor's delight.
So, odds are that you'll have good weather tomorrow. That adage is remarkably accurate, though I forget exactly why.
The rest of it is, "Red sky in the morning, sailor's take warning."
