One can only laugh?

The lights are out again in Hilton! They were out for about 27 hours yesterday and they have been out for about 6 hours so far today. I am sitting at my desk that is lit by a paraffin lamp and my computer and modem are powered by a car battery with an inverter. My son is screaming blue murder because of his tonsils and we are meant to have a Companions in Christ meeting tonight - so what else is there to do but laugh.
