We have a few winter storms yet to pass, and then comes to spring thunderstorms. How many of us think about a heavy storm ripping through power lines?

No Xbox, no MWO. Yeah. We are kind of dependent upon the wire juice.

Still, if you think about it, do you have a flashlight that you can use.

A couple of candles.

A pair of 10-12 hour light sticks

Okay, I'll admit. an hour no gaming gets annoying. Imagine no power for a couple of days. At that point you will be breaking at the Pokemon cards you had as a kid.Posted Image

The advantage a light stick has is that they are not considered a source of ignition.

The bad side is, they have a shelf life, and should they rupture, they create one hell of a mess.
