This morning we had a blackout. I was getting ready for work when we lost all of our power. The thing about all of this that was unusual for me was how my mind then handled the situation. The long and short of it is that I have seen way too many disaster flicks. I started wondering, maybe there has been a terrorist sabotage of a major electrical power generating facility or of the transmission lines. Then my mind jumped to emp pulses caused by a nuclear blast somewhere high in the atmosphere. Since I had no way to verify any of this, my mind wandered even further. It wasn’t until I drove to work that I discovered that it was of course just a problem in a small part of the city. I have seen too many disaster movies.
