I think it'd be different if you were actually Amish, and well-equipped to deal with a life w/out electricity. For those not set up with stoves/non-electric ways to keep food fresh, it can be an oppressive burden. By day 10, we were rejoicing with the rest of our neighborhood when the power finally came back on! FANS!

Maybe, electricity isn't the problem. It seems to be the trend today to isolate ourselves with our gadgets. I say we should unplug once in awhile and enjoy people again.Erin Ungerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13574129940760459129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024717531907322725.post-21484420551741338372012-07-30T05:48:40.046-07:002012-07-30T05:48:40.046-07:00The answer for me would be a big "no" ma...The answer for me would be a big "no" mainly because I've grown-up with electricity my whole life. So its tough not to miss something that you have always had from the beginning! Richardtrumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14379869475899318079noreply@blogger.com
