Power Outage

I hate to think what people go through when they have a lengthy power outage. I had one this morning that lasted about 45 minutes and started just as I turned on the dishwasher. I couldn't help but wonder if that had caused some kind of problem. I checked my breakers and nothing seemed to have switched off. I even went next door where some neighbors might be home to see if they also had an outage. I heard a bell sound when I pressed the doorbell button but no one answered but that seemed to indicate their power was not out. Finally the power came back on and news shortly after that reported that there had been spotty outages in several places in the area where I live. I really don't see how mine could be out and my neighbor's not. I had hard time setting up my DVD recorder after it came back on. It even affected my computer by throwing the resolution out of whack.

I remember that happening at my dad's house; his house had no power, yet the neighbor's house was brightly lit.

I hate it when the power goes out. For awhile I can be on my desk top.
