Mid-Summer 2002
It never fails, each summer our power goes out. Generally, it last two days; although, the record is three. For the next few days, us kids spend our time complaining about the heat and absolute boredom of life without electricity. "How did people live like this?", is a very common thought during this time.
In the summer of 2002 our power went out at around 3pm. My parents got home and we went out for dinner. While we were out we ran a few errands and ended up at Target. I asked my Mom if she'd buy me the new Wilco CD, Yankee Foxtrot Hotel. She said, yes, but told me not to tell my stepdad (the usual procedure).
That night, I layed awake in the dark. Just sweating and enjoying one of my new favorite CD's. I just pulled out Yankee Foxtrot Hotel again, and wow.
