Electricity's off. Phone won't work. Can't get a thing on the radio. My power mower won't move, won't work at all. I'll cut through the backyard...see if the power's still on on Cherry Street. I'll be right back! Doesn't make sense. Why should the power and the phone line go off all of a sudden? Maybe it's an electrical storm or something. That doesn't seem likely. Sky's just as blue as anything. Not a cloud. No lightning. No thunder. No nothing. How could it be a storm? I can't get a thing on the radio. Not even the portable. Well, why don't you go downtown and check with the police, though they'll probably think we're crazy or something. A little power failure and right away we get all excited. It isn't just the power failure, Charlie. If it was, we'd still be able to get a broadcast on the portable.
