My car broke down for a couple weeks years ago when I had no way to afford to fix it, and my boyfriend at the time told me one day as he passed me walking home from work that I loved being forced to do things the old way, that I enjoyed the state of car-lessness. He was mad of course, because he wanted to "save" and drive me and I wouldn't have it. He was right though, I loved having to figure it out, go back to a place folks used to be before my history.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17554517596018190607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5295138427278250035.post-35933533390645970902008-05-09T23:22:00.000-04:002008-05-09T23:22:00.000-04:00I have a 19 year old....our power went out for 2 h...I have a 19 year old....our power went out for 2 hours 3 weeks ago during a storm.

I think at least partially he is afraid of the power going out and thus having nothing to do, but part of it is genuine too. <BR/><BR/>I like the sense it gives me of my own insignificance. Part of it is genuine fear, too-I spend a lot of my life being scared, but it appeals to the fatalist in me, the fact that there just isn't a goshdarn thing to be done about it. Just sit there and take it, just like our forebears have done for hundreds and thousands of years.8https://www.blogger.com/profile/00897636875216996092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5295138427278250035.post-67695472888937279052008-05-09T18:35:00.000-04:002008-05-09T18:35:00.000-04:00I do love a storm!
