Going Off the Grid

SCSchmee&G and I have not been friends for a while. I am convinced that instead of reading my electric meter each month, they throw a dart at a giant dart board to determine my charges. There is No.Other.Way to explain how the charges vary up and down like a rollercoaster.

Last Friday (and Saturday) severed our relationship.

Because as beautiful as this

and this

may be....

I cannot see how I was without the lifeblood of electricity for

FOURTEEN FREAKIN' HOURS!!!

Geez! There are only so many layers a person can put on. Roughing it for me is when cable goes out, not ALL OF THE ELECTRICITY.

That's it.....K's Barbie Dream House is going off the grid. Alternative energy is the answer. I think Gilligan had the right idea when he pedalled the bamboo bike to run the radio.
