High Wire Act

This picture popped up on our Facebook page the other day.  We thought about it any number of ways but mostly to remind ourselves what a high wire life we lead.  For many of us, if you didn't own an old fashioned can opener (non-electric), a battery operated radio and a gas grill, well you wee out of luck and soon out of anything to eat, drink or flush with.  Particularly troublesome was the idea of not being able to communicate. Spending money on hard to find gasoline to charge a phone seems a bit absurd to us.

Our lives have come to the mercy of wires. Wires are at the mercy of wind and water. Nature wins.
