Who Needs Power Anyway?
While I was in Nashville yesterday, I got warning that it was a pretty window day here in Evansville. Driving back I saw the tree limbs scattered along the streets and many parts of town without power: including my house. I’m still without power this morning and have sought refuge at my favorite Starbucks by Eastland Mall.
For this week’s Plugged In, I want to do a quick segment on this and suggest things to do when the power is out. Help me out. Try to be creative with this one. I don’t just want a straight list. If I use it on the air, I’ll give you credit.
My suggestion: lassoing the cat with your Ethernet cable.

For those times when you absolutely have to have power, try using a car as a generator. All you need is a power inverter and an extension cord. Of course, it’s not really the most ideal solution since it uses up precious gas, but it will work in a pinch.
