Unfortunately, even if I did have any cool military gear that I could have used during the power outage, it would be over forty years old now.

My sister said that Draymond Green should be traded.

Don't put me in that category. Yeah, I am in the "old folk" category, but I have never owned a mobular device!
I plan on being the last person on Earth to own a cell phone. And, if I am "the last person on Earth", who would I need to call, anyway?!

We have had rain (small showers) off and on so far this morning/afternoon. I did not really have much plans for outdoor stuff today, anyway.

I really doubt any families made plans to gather in Golden Gate Park today. We have had rain scheduled for most of this entire Christmas Week already.
Of course, if you don't like your uncles and cousins, it might have been good to invite them for an outdoor Christmas picnic... and never show up yourself.
