Power Outage Last Night. What Would I Be Doing?

Hours no power, sooo radio, stamps and candlelight that was my night!

Nicely done! Just please watch the candles around your stamps!

Perfect - almost having a candlelight dinner with your loved ones. I like it

Imagine what the they would do in the early age of philately, prior to electricity?

Worked on their collections during daylight hours?

"Nicely done! Just please watch the candles around your stamps!"

Never left the kids unattended, not for a moment, drip pans under
each too. Had battery led lamps and hurricane lanterns too.
Don't like the dark house during outages, let there be light.

I figure they made their own daylight, the king and queen invite a few hundred friends over do some stamping you know have a ball or something....

LarryBruce..Got it hooked up to your generator..Right..?

Robert

he he - guess that's why it's called the king of hobbies.
I would have joined the ball anytime

wert- a generator? ummm don't tempt me,I had considered it if not for the noise sake for the neighbors.

It could work....

Ha...my neighbors thought I was crazy for installing a diesel generator in garage prior to moving into my home. I live in an unincorporated part of the county...lots of trees, lots of power lines stretched between leaning poles...houses spread out...you get the picture.

There were a few occasional power outages that lasted a day or two for the first couple years. But in 2006 we had a pretty big storm come through just before Christmas and felled trees all over the place. Power was out for 10 days. It was sure nice to wake up to a cup of hot coffee and take a hot shower.

I shared with neighbors, but as you can imagine many of them purchased a generator in the aftermath. :)
