 | From Bob Schulties, your About Today Editor If it were me, I'd just go to bed. "But it's 1pm!," you say. Tut tut tut. Sleep is always good. If you insist on being awake, check out a few fun ideas on staying occupied until the lights come back on. | |
Surviving a Blackout
I know it's not 1892, but there are a few things to keep in mind should the power go out. And remember, you have to read it now, because when the power goes off, I disappear.
| Cooking in a Blackout
It's been a long time since Mrs. Bob and I had to navigate a blackout. Mrs. Bob's brother was stuck near us, so he came over, and what's the first thing he does? Open the fridge and stare! We had to cook the entire fridge-worth of food.
| Candle Safety
Simon, Mr. Peterson's brother, once alerted us to a candle that had fallen over and was starting to burn a shelf. So: Simon 1, Mr. Peterson 0 (he said to use rum to put out the fire). Really didn't work at all.
| Do You Remember the Rules to Checkers?
The best line from LittleBob recently when I asked if he wanted to play checkers was, "I don't have an app for that." I told him we can play in the physical world instead. But then I didn't remember how to play.
