I had written the following while power was out during the hurricane. I'm finally getting around to posting these here....
Generators.
They are a life saver for hospitals and homes that take care of the elderly. Of government buildings (at least I assume this) so our officials can make informed decisions. And for homes that are destroyed by storms, say like Hurricane Irene.
But my goodness, they are so effin loud.
And sometimes a method of showing off.
Does a generator need to be on all day for you? Absolutely not. Should it be on until ten o'clock to light your driveway on a pitch black street? Probably not.
So this post is basically based off jealousy. But this storm has brought an early civilization feel that is completely killed when a generator is heard though out the whole neighborhood.
Would it be nice for you to offer the neighbors anything if needed? Yes. My boyfriend's family has basically opened their house to me, and my family, even if I'm the only one to take the offer. But if all I had to do was walk a small distance to a noisy house for a shower, or even a community meal, I wouldn't complain.
More ramblings from a power-less girl to follow....
