The power went out again and the flashlight batteries were either in the portable tape player or in the portable TV, neither of which I could find without a flashlight.I knew we had candles, but I also knew we didn't have matches.Nobody smokes anymore, so nobody has matches anymore unless the tobacco companies have addicted you to nicotine, in which case you don't even notice power failures because you spend all your time sitting around and smoking anyway.So I ran over to my neighbor, who was standing outside on his porch.
