I quit facebook a year ago, its amazing how much time I got back. I also cut back on this a lot even though I really rather enjoy the Gulch.

I quit the Facebook thing a couple months ago and would not miss the cell phone at all but sure would miss the Gulch!

Good point. Life without Facebook!

Imagine what would happen after people's cell phone batteries died. The world would come to an end. :)

Agreed, one week is when we figured we'd be out of saimin, charcoal, and wine. Especially if our friends kept coming over.

There is certain peace in the house when electricity is absent.

I like when the power goes out for a little while. I think more than a week would drive me nuts.

I had the chance to visit the U of Hawaii observatory on Haleakala with one of their astronomers. It's fascinating work and the images of the solar flares was impressive.

A few years ago we woke up to no power on a Sunday and we were fine. I camp so much we were able to have a nice breakfast, and lunch, then in the middle of the afternoon, two of our friends showed up saying they knew we were fine, can they join us for dinner. So we had a nice meal with company.

On a side note, I said what I thought was a funny comment to the astronomer, something like when do have time to write those predictions for the newspaper? The dood was not happy. No sense of humor.

Hey it's Saturday, get out there or wherever you want to be.
