Power out from about 8 AM to 6 PM due to a friggin’ ICE STORM in April. So no electricity, no heat, no lights, no hot water, no nothin’.
At first I was scared to train in the dark, mostly because of the Klingon in my basement. But I just remembered that humans and Klingons are allies in the future, so it should be fine. Plus, I had nothing else to do!
