Our hydro will be cut off tonight.
Even though we have paid our bill.
Actually, the utility is cutting it off to our street as well as several surrounding streets. Apparently there are important and somewhat urgent repairs to be done. So we'll be without electricity for around three hours. It's good that we aren't TV or gaming addicts. We'll settle down with the candle lantern, have flashlights handy, and probably go to bed early.
Just like our forebears did before civilization became so dependent on what light switches and wall outlets give us.
