One cold morning, some citizens awoke to cold showers and no coffee. The clocks were off, the TV was dead, and there was absolutely no real explanation as to why this would happen. The California energy crisis has hit MoCo in the depths of winter and once again human beings must learn to cope with the wacky world of the elements. The lotto of power outages might sandbag anyone at any moment. Be prepared. Here are some people who feel they are.
