You know the power is off BUT…

WHY?
WHY?
In golf, where did the term 'Caddie' come from?  (ans. at the end)

for tonight.......

The funny things it seems that EVERYONE is guilty of when they have lost their power. You go into a dark room and automatically use the light switch then realize how much you take for granted.

Remember fans even before A/C they kept you somewhat cool at night.  WE had plenty of time to talk in the two evenings we sat in the dark.  We both lived long before the average person had air conditioning in their home. If you were fortunate you had what was called a ‘window fan’. The lower pane was raised and the fan would fit.  We slept on the porch on real hot nights.

I was guilty once of saying I will just turn on the box fan, Mark has left one there.  My sweetie was guilty of saying we can turn on the ceiling fan.  In reality we sat on the porch until the mosquitoes decided they wanted too much blood. Then we took the dining room chairs and sat in front of the window that had a little breeze.

I do like the quietness of ‘no power’ that does compensate some for the being uncomfortable.

It is nice to just talk with someone you love and is also your best friend.

Too soon you enjoy the power when it is restored and for a little while forget that there are still thousands of folks without power. 

Duke Energy is the power supplier in Deltona.  WE are familiar with Duke because it originated in North Carolina  with the Duke family and tobacco, then Education (Duke University) and they diversified further to POWER. 

I smiled when reading Myra’s comment that someone in Florida had a sigh out front of their house, saying something like “Duke… We Will trade Beer for POWER…”

Remember the thousands who are not close to being back to normal in Texas and Florida.

NOW:

BECAUSE................
When Mary Queen of Scots went to France as a young girl, Louis, King of France, learned that she loved the Scots
game 'golf.' He had the first course outside of Scotland built for her enjoyment. To make sure she was properly
chaperoned (and guarded) while she played, Louis hired cadets from a military school to accompany her.

Mary liked this a lot and when she returned to Scotland (not a very good idea in the long run), she took the practice
with her. In French, the word cadet is pronounced 'ca-day' and the Scots changed it into caddie.
