You don't know what you have until it's gone.

Looking out our front window it appears to be a perfect summer day. However, on the inside things are not so great. Electricity is been off for quite a while this morning and that reminds me how much we depend on it.  No Internet, or lights to see in the dark rooms, no use of the refrigerator for fear of spoilage. Unable to easily open the garage door and get the car out. 

Poor Alexa is all alone with no one to play with.

 PS:  The power returned after an hours absence.
