Dependent.

How about THAT word.  It comes in all different shapes and sizes… tenses and forms of speech.  The noun of it, the verb of it… and of course… the adjective.

adjective
1 (dependent on/upon) contingent on or determined by: the various benefits will be dependent on length of service.
2 requiring someone or something for financial, emotional, or other support: an economy heavily dependent on oil exports | households with dependent children.
• unable to do without: people dependent on drugs | [ in combination ] : welfare-dependent families.

Yardy Har Har.  We typically don’t KNOW we are dependent on something… not truly… until it is missing in action.

Yep.  Vamoose.  Hasta La Vista Baby.

Gone but not forgotten.  Over and Out.  Perished.  Depleted. Done. Vanished.  No More.

I am dependent on many, many, many things.

Electric is one of them.  And tonight, mother nature blew it out.  Like a candle.  In the wind.

Oh…. the Geese were honking LOW tonight.

Thank goodness for propane, and a little generator.  And a Sprint Air Card.  Inspector Gadget to the Rescue.

Otherwise, I would not be posting this on the internet tonight.

Here ye.  Here ye…..
