Keeping a Bright Idea Alive

Benjamin Franklin was really on to something the night he went kite flying in a thunder storm. From those humble beginnings to Edison’s light bulb our world has been changed for ever from those incredibly bright ideas. Our daughter lived in the remote areas of Guatemala for 18 months doing humanitarian work. The electricity was “rolling” meaning you never knew when it was your turn to have it or not. It would roll through the little villages, you could be in the middle of showering or making dinner and all the electricity in the area would go out. Many nights she would be visiting with the locals and the power would go out and they never said a word, they would just pick up there chairs and sit under the stars resuming their conversation as if nothing happened.

We are not as adapt here in New Jersey; if our power goes out we lose the use of stoves, lights, vacuums, microwaves, washer and dryers, heating and air conditioning, alarm clocks and even televisions. We have had power outages before and I will think that while I can’t cook dinner, I will do the laundry, or some other odd job also requiring electricity such as curling my hair. We are so reliant on power we hardly think about it. We are also very spoiled here in all we have to do if we are experiencing electrical problems is call a New Jersey electrician and within hours our problems are usually solved. We recently called a New Jersey electrician to install lights for our ping pong table out back. How is that for spoiled? We are so blessed and fortunate to live where we live and how we live. Our entire lifestyles do revolve around electricity, maybe we ought to be a little more aware of it.
