Black outs in our fair City and Beyond

“This is the Law of the Yukon, that only the Strong shall thrive; That surely the Weak shall perish, and only the Fit survive.” — Robert Service

Blackout again? Well bubby suck it up and deal with it. This is the Yukon Territory,we're expected to be tough and creative .

Maybe the worse hardship is on the business owners ,but considering that businesses of the past survived with no electricity it is amazing that those today cannot cope .We have a plastic pay for society,it's a joke to carry cash . I don't have a business ,but if I did I would haul out artificial light lanterns run by batteries and string them around inside the store .Then I would have a manual cash register and a few employees who could actually count change out. Instead of putting the closed sign out ,replace it with a cash only sign. You might lose a few sales because of the die hard plastic debit users but it might be refreshing to get those rare cash customers.

As for those of us who are at home for one reason or another we have our own way to survive with no electricity.After a hour of no electricity I start layering on the clothes.
I check all my little gadgets of alternative lighting for weak batteries,refresh them if needed.
If I get hungry I make a instant cup of soup.Your hot water heater keeps water hot for a very long time.
I read books to pass the time,there is many things I can do.For a source of information this is a good site How to Survive a Winter Blackout
