Last power cut, the convenience store near me had
two candles, and a very weak 2D Never Ready flash
light in the place. I chatted a few minutes, and
he didn't sell much during that time.

After Hurricane Ike, I was with a neighbour who went to Walgreen's
looking for a battery-operated radio. The only one they had took C
cells, which they were out of (and I didn't have any either). I let him
borrow one of my wind-up radios.
