Go back a hundred years? Not me! My Mom
will be 100 years old in September. She says, "you can keep
the old days - they were awful!" Mom knows best :-)

Last year my microwave went out, you should have seen us, we didn't know
what to do. Things as simple as heating up a baby bottle or water for

tea,
just to heat something up was a chore. We actually had to cook like ten
years ago. What we take for granted is right.

SO, We have taken utilities forgranted. We should learn to live with

less.
Cook on Gas grills, Ride bikes. Store non perishable foods.
Go back 100 years.

I am shocked to learn our power grid is third world technology.
