Posted By Winetex on 10-05-2008 05:31 PM A MUST for all blackouts with kids... GLOWSTICKS! Cheap, fun, no mess!

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is... .ps - friends don't let friends eat farmed salmon.

Kpak said GLOWSTICKS. At the VC weekend in Sonoma a couple of years ago the Sonoma Hilton where we were all staying lost power for about 13 hours. They gave us glowsticks so we could see after it got dark. You haven't lived until you've packed a suitcase by the light of a glowstick.

I disagree on the "No Mess". You ever see kids break a glow stick and get that liquid on them? It looks like they were in a fight with a Predator! I love that list. Some of those things are so true. The stars really are amazing when there is no ambient light. Tylenol PM is the only way to fall asleep when you are sweating in the bed because of the heat. Electric company workers are HEROES! And seeing one of those trucks show up in your neighborhood is like winning the lottery. The "Power Just Came On" Happy Dance is the greatest joy in the world.
