Schenectady likes to call itself ElectriCity and the City that Lights and Hauls the World — both statements being sadly deceptive since the past couple of decades of economic decline (it was the birthplace of GE). But we are powerless here this hot summer afternoon, like many parts of the Country. I’m feeling lazy and cranky and wondering where my candles and matches are stored as we get near sunset.
This is a great opportunity for a guiltless day off from policing all those rapacious bar organizations and suspicious barristers. I hope you’re safe and comfortable wherever you are. Me, I gotta conserve my one and only laptop battery.
